\n\tOlivia Rodrigo<\/a> has earned her fourth U.K. No. 1 single<\/a> as \u201cDrop Dead\u201d hits the top spot in its opening week (April 25).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe song dethrones Sam Fender<\/a> and Olivia Dean<\/a>\u2019s \u201cRein Me In,\u201d which had been at the top spot for the past five weeks, and eight non-consecutive weeks in total.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDrop Dead\u201d is the first track from her upcoming third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which is due for release on June 12. The song got its live debut<\/a> at Coachella last weekend where she appeared on stage with Addison Rae.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe song now joins \u201cdrivers license\u201d (2021), \u201cgood 4 u\u201d (2021) and \u201cvampire\u201d (2023) as U.K. chart-toppers. Her first two studio albums, SOUR and GUTS, hit the top spot of the Official Albums Chart.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRein Me In\u201d falls just one spot to No. 2, though Dean is celebrating the start of her global The Art of Loving tour<\/a>, which kicked off in Glasgow, Scotland, on Wednesday (April 23).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing his Coachella takeover, Justin Bieber continues to see a number of hits spiking in the U.K. \u201cBeauty and a Beat\u201d is up to No. 3 to give the 2012 song a new all-time peak, while 2025\u2019s \u201cDaises\u201d is up 10 places to No. 5; the latter hit No. 1 upon its original release.

\n\tTame Impala\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d falls two places to No. 4 and there\u2019s top 10 appearances for Alex Warren (\u201cFever Dream,\u201d No. 5) and Sombr (\u201cHomewrecker,\u201d No. 7).<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the U.K\u2019s Official Albums Chart, Skindred pipped Jessie Ware to the No. 1 spot with their ninth studio album, You Got This, their first to reach the summit. After a close battle throughout the week, Ware\u2019s Superbloom finishes at No. 2 while Zayn\u2019s Konnakol closes at No. 4.<\/p>\n
