Apologies for not releasing this yesterday on St. David's Day. The Official Charts website kept on crashing for me and I did not have enough time to write this all up.
Today, the site's working and it's time to see what's been going on in the first week of March in the charts.
SINGLES
Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners have been lurking outside the top 40 for a long time with the single "Evergreen". It's at #42 this week and the Seattle based band are hopeful it can make it after the song made its debut in the charts exactly a year ago.
NewEra finally make it at #40 with 'Birds In The Sky'. It's the Irish electronic duo's first hit in the charts.
Another debut in the UK is Muni Long with "Made For Me" at #37, a decent song that's another call back to 90s R&B.
Muni Long is 35 years old and from the state of Florida. She's been in the music industry since 2008 and has had some hits in the USA such as 'Hrs & Hr's (Made it to #41 in February 2022).
Muni has also had success with songwriting, an example being Fifth Harmony's "Worth It".
Bryson Tiller returns to the charts at #31 with 'Whatever She Wants'. He blew up in Summer 2017 when he collaborated with DJ Khaled and Rihanna on the number-one hit single "Wild Thoughts".
There is yet another debut in this week's singles charts as Pozer secures his first hit at #29 with "Kitchen Stove".
The Croydon based rapper has been teasing this song for months on social media and it seems that all this teasing has been worth it at the end.
Central Cee has been nominated for a lot of awards at this years' Brit Awards and what a good way to celebrate that with a song at #18 with 'I Will'.
"Saturn" is the 13th song from SZA to enter the top 40. The song has charted at #15 and it's the first song from her upcoming album 'Lana'.
In the top 10, the controversial Kanye West secures another top 10 hit. "Carnival" is at #9 and features a collab with Ty Dolla Sign.
Recently, Kanye West has been teasing a trilogy of his 'Vultures' project on social media; so it seems that more is to come.
Joe Keery of Stranger Things is living the life as his Djo project enters the top 5 with "End Of The Beginning". Thanks TikTok.
As Teddy Swims climbs to #2 with "Lose Control", Beyonce secures a second week at #1 with the country bop "Texas Hold 'Em". Act 2 can't come any sooner.
ALBUMS
Rapping Veteran Ghetts is at #29 with 'On Purpose With Purpose'. He's been rapping since 2003, after he was released from prison and released his first mix tape called '2000 & Life' in 2005.
At #25 is singer-songwriter Nadine Shah with her 5th album 'Filthy Underneath'. She was once friends with Amy Winehouse when she moved to London in 2003.
Interestingly, three Taylor Swift albums have charted close to each other. 'Midnights' at #16, 'Lover' at #15 and 'Folklore' at #14.
The Red Rum Club are a rock group from Liverpool and have secured their first top 10 album at #8. 'Western Approaches'. They're currently on tour around the UK this month.
Potter Payper is at #5 with 'Thanks For Hating'. It's his 4th album to enter the top 10, the first being 'Training Day 3' in October 2020.
The Snuts makes Scotland proud again as their album, 'Millennials', charts at #2. They had a close chart battle with this week's #1, but it's nonetheless another top 3 album for the band.
And Jools Holland has finally done it! He's finally made it to #1 in the UK Albums charts for the first time in his 50 year music career.
The album is called 'Swing Fever' and it's a collaboration with Rod Stewart consisting of covers of jazz songs from the early to mid 20th Century.
EPILOGUE
New singles this week come from Liam Payne, Bru-C, Meek Mill, Twenty One Pilots, Cardi B, Pharrell Williams and Charli XCX.
Charli XCX's new song 'Von Dutch' samples "Yeah Yeah" from the Bodyrockers and she has recently announced her new album "Brat".
Pharrell Williams is working on a new album named 'Phriends Vol 1' this year, his new song is named "Doctor (Work It Out)" has been released as a teaser.
The highly anticipated crossover album between Liam Gallagher and John Squire comes out today. The World can finally listen to album that unites the sounds of Oasis and Stone Roses together.
Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson releases his first solo album in 19 years. It's called 'The Mandrake Project', can it better the success of his first solo album 'Tattooed Millionaire' all the way back in 1990?
Kaiser Chiefs are back with their 8th album 'Kaiser Chief's Easy Eighth Album'. Ricky Wilson has been making appearances on a lot of TV shows in the UK to promote it.
And Yard Act release their second album 'Where's My Utopia'. It's going to be a tight battle if they want to battle for the top spot.
That's it from me, I'm off to watch the Brit Awards.
