Welcome back to The Week in Number Ones, where all the biggest chart movers from the US and UK charts get condensed into one article. Last week, we got some major delayed reactions when The Weeknd took his seven-year-old song ‘Die For You’ finally hit number one in America. We also looked at the Phoebe-Bridgers-ification of pop with Lizzy McApline’s ‘Ceilings’ and went back in time with the nostalgic Four Seasons hit ‘December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)’.
You know that there’s no major news going on when I’m continuing to think about the Oscars for a second week in a row. I won’t bore you with the details, so here are the highlights in order of importance: Everything Everywhere All At Once, major disrespect toward both The Banshees of Inisherin and Tár, and a major triumph for ‘Naatu Naatu’. There, that’s it: you’ve caught up with the 95th Acadamy Awards.
This week, we wade into the waters of reality singing stars as both Libianca and Morgan Wallen dominate the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Then, we take a trip to West Germany, where a Rolling Stones concert inspired one of the best new wave anthems of all time, ’99 Luftballons’. All that and more as we round up the best chart news of the modern-day and recent past. women morgan wallen shirts
