Welcome to This Week In Pop.
This week, Rosé and Bruno Mars’ 'APT.' becomes the longest-running #1 duet since Elton John and Dua Lipa’s 'Cold Heart (PNAU remix)' sat in the top spot for 10 weeks in 2020-21, while Sabrina Carpenter’s 'Short n’ Sweet' holds at #1 for a ninth non-consecutive week.
'Short n’ Sweet' is now the longest running #1 album by a female artist since Taylor Swift’s '1989 (Taylor’s Version)' spent 14 weeks on top in 2023-24.
On the Singles Chart, it’s nine non-consecutive weeks on top for Rosé and Bruno Mars’ 'APT.' It hit #1 in late October and its run in the penthouse has been interrupted twice: Gracie Abrams’ 'That’s So True' spent two weeks at #1 in late November and Mariah Carey’s 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' ruled in the final week of 2024.
British DJ Chrystal scores her first top 10 hit, as 'The Days (Notion Remix)' jumps from #18 to #7.
