🎧 UK Radio Airplay Chart: BRUNO MARS Takes the Crown as New Entries Shake Up the Top 100
The latest UK radio airplay chart is packed with major movement this week, with BRUNO MARS climbing to No.1 and several superstar debuts making immediate impact across British airwaves. From pop heavyweights to returning legends, the current Top 100 reflects a diverse mix of global hits dominating radio rotation throughout the UK.
🔥 BRUNO MARS Rises to No.1
After spending last week at No.2, BRUNO MARS finally reaches the summit with “I Just Might”, now the most-played song on UK radio after 11 weeks on the chart. The smooth, soulful single edges past last week’s leader ALEX WARREN, whose viral smash “Fever Dream” slips one place to No.2.
At No.3, psychedelic favorite TAME IMPALA remains stable with “Dracula”, proving its impressive consistency after 11 weeks inside the upper tier.
⭐ Strong Climbers Inside the Top 10
One of this week’s biggest gains belongs to ZARA LARSSON, who jumps from No.11 to No.6 with “Midnight Sun”. The Swedish pop star continues to gain momentum across UK stations, benefiting from strong daytime radio support.
Another notable rise comes from BELLA KAY, whose infectious “Iloveitiloveitiloveit” rockets from No.15 to No.10, earning its first Top 10 appearance.
Meanwhile, OLIVIA RODRIGO holds strong at No.7 with “Drop Dead”, only three weeks into its chart run.
🚀 Biggest New Entry: MADONNA & SABRINA CARPENTER
The highest debut of the week lands at No.8 courtesy of pop royalty MADONNA and global sensation SABRINA CARPENTER. Their collaboration “Bring Your Love” arrives with immediate impact and is already one of the hottest additions on UK playlists.
Elsewhere among the fresh entries:
- SIENNA SPIRO debuts at No.64 with “Material Lover”
- THE ROLLING STONES enter at No.74 with “In The Stars”
- BECKY HILL scores a new hit at No.90 with “Hands On Me”
- BROOKE COMBE arrives at No.95 with “Tears Won’t Lie”
- JOY ANONYMOUS, EZRA COLLECTIVE & STUSH debut at No.96 with “Joy (This One)”
📈 Major Movers This Week
Several tracks enjoyed massive upward momentum across UK radio programming this week.
STEPHEN SANCHEZ leaps from No.65 to No.48 with “Chuck The Money”, while electronic duo PROSPA & CLOONEE surge from No.56 to No.37 thanks to club anthem “Free Your Mind”.
Another standout climber is DOMINIC FIKE, whose “White Keys” climbs nine places to No.33.
At the same time, NIALL HORAN continues his strong solo run. “Little More Time” explodes from No.97 to No.63 in only its second week.
💥 Multiple Hits for TAYLOR SWIFT
TAYLOR SWIFT once again dominates the chart with multiple entries. “The Fate Of Ophelia” remains steady at No.14, while “Elizabeth Taylor” drops to No.18 and “Opalite” stays inside the Top 30 at No.27.
The continued strength of her catalog confirms her ongoing dominance on British radio.
🎶 Dance & Electronic Music Continue to Thrive
Dance music remains one of the strongest genres on UK radio right now. Tracks from SONNY FODERA, D.O.D, EWAN McVICAR, DISCLOSURE, and MK & CHRYSTAL all maintain strong positions throughout the chart.
The return of DISCLOSURE is particularly notable, as “The Sun Comes Up Tremendous” re-enters the chart at No.67.
🎤 UK Favorites Holding Strong
British audiences continue to support homegrown stars this week, with strong performances from:
- SAM FENDER & OLIVIA DEAN – “Rein Me In”
- CENTRAL CEE – “Wagwan”
- YUNGBLUD – “Suburban Requiem”
- NIA ARCHIVES – “Danger” and new entry “Boys In Blue”
- CAMMY BARNES – scoring two simultaneous hits
Meanwhile, legendary acts such as U2, RICK ASTLEY, SQUEEZE, and THE ROLLING STONES prove that iconic artists still have a major place on contemporary UK radio.
📻 UK Radio Airplay Chart: Key Takeaways
This week’s UK radio chart highlights the growing power of crossover pop collaborations, viral streaming hits transitioning to radio success, and the continued dominance of established superstars.
With BRUNO MARS now leading the pack, all eyes will be on whether he can hold off strong competition from MADONNA & SABRINA CARPENTER, ZARA LARSSON, and rising names like SIENNA SPIRO in the coming weeks.
The battle for UK radio supremacy is officially heating up.
