Michael Jackson<\/a>‘s Thriller<\/a> storms 12 places to Number 5, securing a brand-new Official Chart peak 43 years after its original release.\u00a0<\/p>\n After reaching a new high of Number 9 in 2025, the Halloween favourite enters the Top 5 for the first time, with a 74% week-on-week consumption increase.<\/p>\n And it’s good news for plenty of other spooky smashes, too.<\/p>\n Ray Parker Jr.<\/a>‘s Ghostbusters<\/a> answers the call at Number 12, while Rockwell<\/a>‘s Somebody’s Watching Me<\/a> re-enters at Number 14. The latter originally reached Number 6 back in 1984.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, could Tame Impala<\/a>‘s Dracula<\/a> be establishing itself as a modern-day Halloween staple?\u00a0<\/p>\n The track certainly has plenty of bite!
