Chanel Yates continues her upward momentum with Char(lie), climbing two places to a new peak of No. 31 in its fourth week. Meanwhile, Ward Thomas slip five places to No. 36 with Hold It All Together.

First Time Flyers, collaborating with Nashville duo Striking Matches, move down one place to No. 37 with Do It All Over Again, while The Shires remain in the Top 40 with Watching You Watching Me, falling 11 places to No. 39. Just outside the Top 40, British duo Matt Wills and Ellie Hider make a new entry at No. 48 with Home Run, adding another homegrown collaboration to this week’s chart.
