Every Sunday evening, Charlie Ashcroft counts down the Amazing Chart across the UK’s national DAB network on Amazing Radio. Here he is to give us the very latest lowdown on the last week’s movers and shakers from amazingtunes.com…

Hello! We’ve got a brand new chart-topper this week, with London singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas hitting the heights with Forget in the immediate aftermath of her new EP release. Fresh being announced as part of The Great Escape line-up in Brighton, Lianne has scored her first ever Amazing Chart Number 1 and becomes the first female Londoner to do so since Daughter hit the top in October last year.

This means that Friend Crush by Friends has slipped a couple of places after a fortnight on top, with Swiss Lips glued to the Number 2 spot for a third consecutive week. Slightly further down, Django Django and Monogold have risen further this week, with Default and Spirit Or Something climbing to Number 4 and Number 7 respectively.

This week sees eight (yep, EIGHT) new arrivals inside the Top 20. Oxford band Jonquil have the highest-placed of them all with It’s My Part at Number 12, while Lucy Rose, NZCA/Lines, Midnight Lion, Holy Esque, The Reads, First Aid Kit and Alt-J are all close behind in the rundown, all liable to climb further come Sunday.

Hello! It’s another week at Number 1 for Friend Crush by Friends in the Amazing Chart this time around, with the Brooklyn five-piece going from strength to strength ahead of an undoubtedly busy year. Despite tweeting that they don’t really mind how high they are in our rundown, the fact remains that they’ve held off the attentions of Swiss Lips and Dry The River once again.

Slightly further down, Devin and Vanbot have made their first ever appearances inside the Top 5, while Django Django have grabbed this week’s Highest New Entry with Default at Number 7.

Elsewhere in the realm of new arrivals inside the Top 20, Amazing Breakfast’s Artist of the Week Tennis have landed at Number 8 with Origins, while we also welcome Monogold, Horse Thief, Simian Ghost and Eeves to the fold. Click here to see the Amazing Chart Top 40 in full.

Hello! Hot on the heels of the single being released here in the UK, Friend Crush by Friends has topped the Amazing Chart. The band have enjoyed some sell-out gigs in Manchester and London over the past seven days and will be making a return trip to UK shores in May to get their festival season started with an appearance at The Great Escape.

Their rise to the top means that Swiss Lips have fallen a place with U Got The Power, joined in the Top 3 this week by Oslo’s finest, Team Me. Slightly further down, Londoners The Ghosts and We Have Band have both entered the Top 5 for the very first time, while Devin and Howler are also on the up with maiden entries into the Top 10.

In the realm of New Entries, Lianne La Havas scores her second consecutive Amazing Chart hit with Forget having landed at Number 13, while Errors and Vanbot have made their chart bows inside the Top 20 with Pleasure Palaces and Make Me, Break Me respectively.

Arguably one of the catchiest songs in rotation on Amazing Radio at the moment, our new Number 1 is an upbeat, memorable track which channels the spirit of MGMT and Passion Pit alongside an appreciation for an undeniable pop hook.

Congratulations to Manchester band Swiss Lips, who’ve risen four places with their track U Got The Power to claim the crown from Jethro Fox this week, fresh from signing their first ever record deal!

We’ve also had some hefty climbs in the Top 10 this week from Bear Driver, The Collectable Few and Sharon van Etten, while Norwegians Team Me also climb to their highest position yet with the wonderfully-named taster from their To The Treetops! album called With My Hands Covering Both Of My Eyes I Am Too Scared To Have A Look At You Now.

“What about New Entries?” I hear you cry. Well, in terms of brand new arrivals inside the Top 20, we’ve got three of them this week. The highest comes from Friends at Number 13 with Friend Crush, a few notches ahead of a couple of recent singles from Dry The River and We Have Band to complete our rundown.
