Fender and Dean’s joint single “Rein Me In” has now earned a ninth non-consecutive week at No. 1 since first hitting the top spot in February. The collaboration also won best song at the 2026 BRIT Awards; it is Fender’s first No. 1 single and Dean’s second.
Rodrigo falls just one spot to No. 2 with “Drop Dead,” the lead single from her upcoming LP, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, due June 12. Rodrigo on Thursday (April 30) shared dates for a 65-stop world tour in North America, U.K. and mainland Europe, which includes four nights at London’s O2 Arena.
The impact of Justin Bieber’s Coachella set continues to be felt with “Beauty and a Beat,” first released in 2012, holding its position at No. 3, while “Daisies” (No. 6) and “Yukon” (No. 27) also make appearances in the top 40.
Tame Impala’s “Dracula” holds at No. 4, spurred on by a remix version with BLACKPINK’s Jennie. The former’s U.K. tour kicks off at London’s O2 Arena on May 7 before stops in Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. Alex Warren’s “Fever Dream” rises one position to No. 5 to round out the top five.
