We LOVE a comeback story; and this is one for the books! Pink<\/a>\u2019s\u00a02013 banger Just Give Me a Reason<\/a> featuring Nate Ruess<\/a> is back in the Top 40 for the first time in 13 years, as the song rides on a wave of social media virality\u00a0(15). \u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there\u2019s a new entry for Olivia Rodrigo<\/a>, as\u00a0expectations<\/a> from her Number 1 album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love<\/a> makes its maiden Top 40 appearance following the release of a remix featuring Chappell Roan<\/a> (35). \u00a0<\/p>\n

Kudos also goes to UK rising R&B and rap artist Season 25<\/a>, as his standout track Shotta\u2019s.<\/a> breaks the Top 40 for the very first time (38).\u00a0<\/p>\n

He keeps finding new peaks! Noah Kahan<\/a>\u2019s Willing and Able<\/a>, which broke the Top 20 for the first time last week, has elevated even higher, moving three spots to Number 17. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Other\u00a0tracks breaking new ground\u00a0include DJ Goja<\/a>\u2019s Mi Chico<\/a> featuring Jason Derulo<\/a> and Melody<\/a> (25) and COS OF YOU<\/a> from Morrisson<\/a> (34). \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor is the only artist to have clinched three UK Number 1 singles in 2026, with Patient Zero…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":804799,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,43995,57970,264234,10568,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-804798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-number-1-award","tag-pink","tag-season-25","tag-taylor-swift","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=804798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/804799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=804798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=804798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=804798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
