Sabrina Carpenter clinched the top spot on the UK Singles Chart with her hit "Espresso" from Island Records, marking its fourth consecutive week at the pinnacle. 

Officially confirmed on Friday, May 24, the track not only secured the lead but also remained the most-streamed song in the UK, amassing over 8.3 million plays this past week.

Meanwhile, Billie Eilish's new album "Hit Me Hard And Soft" made a strong debut on the UK Albums Chart, securing the second highest opening of the year, just behind Taylor Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department."

Eilish also saw significant success on the singles front, with three tracks from her album entering the top 10. 

The lead single "Lunch" debuted impressively at No. 2, followed by "Chihiro" at No. 7 and "Birds Of A Feather" at No. 9, elevating her career total of UK top 10 singles to 12.

Adding to the top 10 mix, Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" held its ground at No. 3, contributing to a diverse country flavor in this week's chart that includes tracks from Post Malone and Morgan Wallen, and Dasha's steady "Austin."

Further down the list, Gunna debuted his "One of Wun" at No. 32, marking another top 40 hit for the US rapper. 

Tems also made notable strides with "Love Me JeJe," which climbed to No. 39, marking her fourth U.K. top 40 entry.

In a nostalgic twist, Disturbed's cover of "The Sound of Silence" re-entered the chart at No. 39, fueled by a viral dance remix. 

This cover, originally a hit in 2016, pays homage to the Simon and Garfunkel classic, adding a modern twist to a timeless track.
