The Swifties have been busy, as Taylor Swift knocks ‘Movin’ To The Sun’ off the top spot!
We have a brand new Number 1 on The EE Official Big Top 40 this week, and it’s Taylor Swift!
‘Patient Zero’ has jumped straight to the top of the chart, knocking HUGEL, Imael Angel and Ultra Naté’s ‘Movin’ To The Sun’ down to Number 2 after four weeks at Number 1.
And the Swifties have been BUSY! Taylor released ‘The Life Of A Showgirl: The Encore’ on Friday 25th September 2026, adding four brand new tracks to her album, including ‘Patient Zero’, ‘Cleveland!’, ‘Pink Clouding’ and ‘Babylon’.
All four tracks have made a huge impact on this week’s chart, with ‘Cleveland!’ at Number 3, ‘Babylon’ at Number 5 and ‘Pink Clouding’ at Number 6.
Jamie Miller has also had a HUGE week, with ‘Babydoll’ making its way back into the Top 5 at Number 4! After previously climbing up the chart, the track is proving it’s not going anywhere just yet!
Stella Lefty’s ‘Boston’ sits at Number 7, followed by Shakira and Burna Boy’s ‘Dai Dai’ at Number 8. Ashe’s ‘Stop The Wedding!’ is at Number 9, while Imael Angel’s ‘BAD TIMES’ rounds out the Top 10.
Elsewhere in the chart, we have SEVEN new entries this week!
James Blunt’s ‘Circles’ lands at Number 21, while Fontaines D.C.’s ‘Tongue’ enters at Number 22.
Further down, Plain White T’s’ ‘Hey There Delilah’ makes a comeback at Number 27, with Cloonee, Prospa and Tristan Henry’s ‘Good Girl’ at Number 28. Take That also make their chart return with ‘Dreamers’ at Number 32, followed by Kings of Leon’s ‘Cold Blue Dawn’ at Number 33 and Steps’ Halloween Mix of ‘Scared of the Dark’ at Number 36.
So, can Taylor Swift keep hold of the Number 1 spot next week? Or will HUGEL, Imael Angel and Ultra Naté’s ‘Movin’ To The Sun’ fight its way back to the top?
