Charli XCX

The latest UK music charts with guests Charli XCX and Finn Keane.

Back in 2024, as Charli XCX was on her Brat tour, she got a call from film director Emerald Fennell who asked if she would like to write and record a song for her upcoming adaptation of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, but once she had read the script she wanted to do more than just one song. This week, Charli XCX and her long time collaborator Finn Keane tell us all about it.

Plus, there is music from new albums from Kylie Minogue and Brent Faiyaz.

In the singles chart there is music from Central Cee and Sombr and we find out if Taylor Swift can hold her place at the top with her song Opalite.
