\n\tIt\u2019s a Taylor Swift double on the U.K. chart, as The Tortured Poets Department<\/em> (EMI) opens at No. 1<\/a> and the U.S. pop star locks-up three of the top four on the national singles survey, including top spot.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cFortnight\u201d featuring Post Malone debuts at No. 1 on the latest Official Chart<\/a>, published Friday, April 26, ahead of Hozier\u2019s \u201cToo Sweet\u201d (Island), down 1-2, and the TTPD<\/em> title track, new at No. 3. <\/p>\n \n\tWith that impeccable start, Swift snags her third career U.K. chart double, after ruling both charts simultaneously in 2022 with Midnights<\/em> and its lead single \u201cAnti-Hero,\u201d and last year with 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> and \u201cIs It Over Now? (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d. <\/p>\n \n\tThe leader on the midweek chart<\/a>, \u201cFortnight\u201d becomes Swift\u2019s fourth U.K. No. 1 single after \u201cLook What You Made Me Do\u201d (from 2017), \u201cAnti-Hero\u201d (2022) and \u201cIs It Over Now?\u201d (Taylor\u2019s Version) (2023), and Malone\u2019s second \u2014 and first in seven years \u2013 after 2017\u2019s \u201cRockstar\u201d with 21 Savage. <\/p>\n \n\tAlso, TTPD<\/em> track \u201cDown Bad\u201d (No. 4) enters the top 10 on debut, lifting TayTay\u2019s career tally of top tier hits to 28 (no more than three songs from any one album can be eligible for the U.K. singles chart).<\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile, U.S. singer and actor Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> is running hot with \u201cEspresso\u201d (Island), up 6-5 for her career peak U.K. chart position. <\/p>\n \n\tFurther down the tally, Drake<\/a>\u2019s Kendrick Lamar diss track \u201cPush Ups\u201d (OVO\/Republic Records) debuts at No. 14, giving the Canadian superstar hip-hop artist his 93rd U.K. top 40 single.<\/p>\n \n\tThere\u2019s another U.S. country artist making an impression on the U.K. top 40, this time singer-songwriter Shaboozey<\/a> with \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy)\u201d (via American Dogwood\/Empire), up 41-16. Shaboozey\u2019s profile has enjoyed a boost in the U.K. after being featured on Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s chart-topping LP Cowboy Carter<\/em>. Dasha\u2019s \u201cAustin\u201d (Warner Records) is still riding in the U.K. top 10, down 7-10.<\/p>\n \n\tFinally, Headie One<\/a>\u2019s \u201cCry No More\u201d (Columbia), a collaboration with Stormzy<\/a> and Tay Keith<\/a>, bows at No. 33, for Headie\u2019s 16th, Stormzy\u2019s 31st and Tay Keith\u2019s second U.K. top 40 appearance. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
