Olivia Rodrigo gets the upper hand in the U.K. chart battle with Queen, though there wasn’t much in it.
Rodrigo’s Sour (Geffen) snags a fourth week at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, with an advantage of just 270 chart sales over Queen’s evergreen Greatest Hits (EMI).
Sour is the U.K.’s biggest album of 2021, so far, the OCC reports. Queen’s Greatest Hits, however, is the U.K.’s biggest album of all time, shifting more than six million units since its release in 1981, and logging 985 weeks on the chart, a streak bettered only by ABBA’s Gold (1001 weeks, and counting).
The rock legends’ career retrospective enjoys a spike thanks to a 40th anniversary reissue campaign. According to the charts compiler, 78% of Queen’s final total during the week was made up of physical sales (vinyl, CD and cassette) with Greatest Hits the best-selling vinyl album of the chart week.

Rodrigo is likely to benefit from the Grammys' long history of favoring young, female breakout stars in the top categories. We all know that Olivia Rodrigo is headed for a big night at the 64th annual Grammy Awards, which will be held at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Jan. 31. She is an overwhelming favorite to win as best new artist and is the clear front-runner to win record and song of the year for her widely admired smash “drivers license.” That song spent eight consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also topped Billboard’s list of the 50 Best Songs of 2021 So Far: Staff Picks, where Rania Aniftos called Rodrigo “pop's most captivating new storyteller” and noted: “With just one song, Rodrigo proved herself as a compelling vocalist and a songwriter well beyond her years.” Rodrigo is also likely to be nominated for album of the year for her debut, Sour. The album is currently in its fourth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. That's one of the three longest stays in the top spot of any album released in this eligibility period (Sept. 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021). The others are Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album (10 weeks) and Taylor Swift’s Evermore (also four weeks). Sour also made history as the first debut album to contain two songs that entered the Hot 100 at No. 1 -- "drivers license" and "good 4 u." http://instagram.com/p/CQrjld2rND- Sour was included on Billboard’s unranked list of the 50 Best Albums of 2021 So Far: Staff Picks. Writing about the album, Josh Glickman was impressed by Rodrigo’s songwriting. (She wrote or co-wrote all 11 songs on the album.) He observed: “From its starkest lyrics of insecurity to its most biting one-liners, her songwriting prowess is on full display throughout.”

Joshua Bassett just took to TikTok to post a snippet of a brand-new original song called "Never," and fans proved that they have no ability to chill. Personally, I've listened to the snippet a good 27 times to analyze Joshua's heartfelt lyrics about lost love. http://instagram.com/p/B95KPG7hjOZ "I’ve never loved someone like you / I’ve never held and been held too / I’ve never known something so true / and I’m never never never getting over you," he sings over a piano instrumental. A ton of artists tend to pull inspiration from relationships in their day-to-day lives, and fans did not hesitate to leave their thoughts and theories in the comments of Joshua's TikTok. "I've never dated anyone and yet this makes me feel like I've just gone through the worst breakup," user @laurenhutchy wrote. "This sounds like a Ricky Bowen song 🥺," another user wrote, alluding to Joshua's character on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Some comments even pointed out some clues that "Never" could potentially be about Joshua's co-star, Olivia Rodrigo. "As long as I'm your darling ANGEL...idk but this is what I thought when he said angel," user @team.Leo.Valdez wrote. This comment compares Joshua's lyrics to those in an unreleased Olivia song called "Gross," which was also speculated to be about him. This content is imported from Instagram.
