Dave and Tems Rise to the Top of U.K. Singles Chart
Dave and Tems have returned to the top of the U.K. Singles Chart as their collaboration Raindance climbs back to No. 1, replacing Harry Styles’ Aperture at the summit. The latest chart update, dated February 6, sees the pair secure a major milestone, marking another strong international moment for both artists.
Harry Styles’ Aperture, which debuted at No. 1 on the January 30 chart, spends just one week at the top before dropping down the rankings. The song continues to perform strongly globally, currently holding the same position on the Billboard Hot 100, although facing growing competition from rising releases by Ella Langley and Olivia Dean.
Raindance originally reached No. 1 in the U.K. two weeks ago before being briefly displaced by Harry Styles’ comeback single. Its return to the summit gives the track two non-consecutive weeks at No. 1. The record appears on Dave’s project The Boy Who Played the Harp and also made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 this week at No. 89 — marking Dave’s first appearance on the chart and Tems’ sixth.
Elsewhere on the chart, RAYE’s Where Is My Husband! sits at No. 2 after previously spending a week at the top earlier in January, while Djo’s End of Beginning holds steady at No. 3 following its earlier two-week run at No. 1. Harry Styles’ Aperture drops to No. 4 in its second week, with Taylor Swift’s The Fate of Ophelia rounding out the top five.
Further down the chart, Noah Kahan records the week’s highest new entry as The Great Divide debuts at No. 10 ahead of his upcoming album release in April. Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun continues its climb, rising to No. 20, while renewed attention following The Cure’s recent Grammy win pushes their 1979 classic Boys Don’t Cry up to No. 22. Ella Langley also earns her first chart appearance as Choosin’ Texas enters the top 40 at No. 38.
