Official Singles Sales Chart September 2026 Results =================================================== “Movin' to the Sun” remained at No. 1 on the UK singles sales chart for September 18 to 24, 2026. The top 10 and major ranking changes are summarized, with a comparison of the overall chart and calculation criteria. - “Movin' to the Sun” was No. 1 in UK singles sales for September 18 to 24, 2026. - The Official Singles Sales Chart counts sales of downloads, CDs, vinyl, and other formats. - Wretch 32's “Fire in the Booth” debuted at No. 15 on the sales chart. - RE, which indicates a re-entry, must be distinguished from last week's numerical ranking. - The percentage increase in sales cannot be calculated from the rise in sales ranking alone. The UK’s No. 1 single by sales for September 18 to 24, 2026, is ‘Movin' to the Sun’ by HUGEL, Imael Angel, and Ultra Naté. It remained at No. 1 from the previous week on the Official Charts sales chart. The ranking figures are based on the Official Charts table for September 18 to 24, 2026. Key Information About This Week’s Chart This chart ranks weekly single sales in the UK. Streaming plays are not included in the sales chart calculations.

Status This week Song Artist New entry No. 15 Fire in the Booth Wretch 32 New entry No. 17 Joseph Falling In Reverse / Corey New entry No. 18 Dirty Dirty Disco Rogue Traders / Dannii Minogue New entry No. 72 Made My Night LE SSERAFIM Re-entry No. 2 Love Was Made of Stone Brooke Combe Re-entry No. 12 Hind's Hall Macklemore A new entry means that the song has appeared on this sales chart for the first time. This is separate from the song’s release date. A re-entry means that a song with a previous chart record has returned. Biggest Climbers and Points to Watch The rise is calculated by subtracting this week’s position from last week’s position. The calculations below use the LW figures on the official page. The same calculation was not applied to new entries or RE. Song Artist Last week This week Rise Landslide Fleetwood Mac No. 185 No. 49 136 places Wonderwall Oasis No. 145 No. 61 84 places Good Luck Babe Chappell Roan No. 64 No. 37 27 places Babydoll Jamie Miller No. 37 No. 14 23 places Training Season Dua Lipa No. 23 No. 10 13 places One point to watch is the relationship between the size of a rise and a song’s previous peak. Even a large rise may still leave a song below its own peak. The reasons for changes in ranking cannot be determined from this table alone. Entering the upper ranks: Check whether a song moved from outside the top 10 into it. Setting a new record: Determine whether the current position changed the song’s previous peak. Type of return: First check whether LW is a number or RE. Differences Between the Sales Chart and the Overall Chart The overall chart combines sales with audio and video streaming. The sales chart shows purchase performance separately. The two positions do not have to match, even for the same song. Comparison Official Singles Sales Chart Official Singles Chart Top 100 Download, CD, and vinyl sales Included Included Audio and video streaming Not included Included Meaning of the ranking Single purchase performance Performance based on sales and streaming No. 1 for September 18 to 24, 2026 Movin' to the Sun Great Expectation ‘Movin' to the Sun’ is No. 3 on the overall chart for the same week. The overall No. 1 is Sienna Spiro’s ‘Great Expectation’. This difference can be confirmed in the overall chart archive for that date. What Rules Determine Whether Sales Count? Transactions included in the chart must meet the official eligibility rules. Not every transaction is accepted simply because a purchase occurred. The official rules state that sales in ineligible formats may be excluded. The August 2023 edition of Rules for Chart Eligibility: Singles states: All data used to compile the Chart must be recorded as a result of a genuine transaction by a genuine consumer. Source: Rules for Chart Eligibility: Singles, August 2023, Section 1.1 This means that the chart data must be based on genuine transactions by actual consumers. The rules also include provisions to prevent improper chart manipulation. Detailed eligibility requirements should be checked under Meeting the chart rules on the official website. Details That Are Easy to Miss When Citing Ranking Data A ranking is not a number that shows the actual sales volume. Separate figures are needed to determine how many more copies No. 1 sold than No. 2. A rise in ranking does not necessarily mean that sales also increased. Distinctions must also be maintained when transferring chart records into a dataset. In particular, converting new entries and re-entries into numbers distorts calculations. The following principles are based on the original table. Record field Recommended treatment Reason Chart type Store the official name as well Prevent confusion between the sales chart and the overall chart Date Store the start and end dates separately Prevent confusion over the year or weekly record Last week’s position Store as a number only when a number is given Prevent the error of treating New or RE as No. 0 Entry status Store new entries and re-entries in a separate field Distinguish them when calculating rises Sales volume Mark as unconfirmed if no figures are published Prevent the error of calculating sales backward from rankings Source Use a date-specific archive URL Keep the record traceable even after the chart changes the following week LW may show numbers outside the range of the published list. Arbitrarily changing them to RE alters the original information. For accuracy, the LW figure used should be retained alongside the calculated rise. Official Sources for Checking Records and Listening The date-specific pages on Official Charts are suitable for checking sales rankings. BBC Radio 1’s UK Top 40 broadcast covers the overall chart. It should not be understood as broadcasting the sales chart in the same order. Purpose Official source What to check Check this week’s sales ranking Official Singles Sales Chart Chart type and period shown Check past rankings Date-specific chart archive Year and weekly dates Check a song’s chart history Song or artist detail page Peak and entry record for the selected chart Listen to the overall Top 40 BBC Radio 1 It covers different data from the sales chart The official search guide explains that both the date and chart type should be selected. The search process can be checked at How to search our database. Follow these steps to find this week’s record. Open the Charts menu on the Official Charts homepage. Select Official Singles Sales Chart. Select September 18, 2026, in the date picker. Confirm that the period shown at the top is September 18 to 24, 2026. Read the song’s last-week and peak positions within the same chart. Sales charts dated September 18 also exist for 2015 and 2020. Choosing a search result based only on the month and day may lead to reading rankings from a different year. Historical rankings alone also cannot be used to compare sales volumes across different eras. Frequently Asked Questions Does heavy streaming count toward the sales chart? Streaming plays are not included in this sales chart. Audio and video streaming are included in the overall singles chart. Download purchases and streaming listens must be distinguished. What do LW and Peak mean? LW is last week’s position, and Peak is the highest position reached on that chart. The peak varies depending on the chart type currently being viewed. A Peak from the sales chart should not be cited as an overall chart record. Does New mean the song was released this week? New marks a new entry on that chart. It does not directly indicate the song’s release date. The release date must be checked separately through an official announcement from the artist or label. How is the rise calculated for a song marked RE? RE has no numerical position for the previous week, so a rise is not calculated. The re-entry status and this week’s position should be recorded together. No. 0 or No. 101 should not be inserted arbitrarily. Are the chart’s weekly dates the release dates? The chart period shown is not the release date of an individual song. Songs released at different times can appear in the same weekly ranking. The period shown must also be distinguished from the actual sales collection period. If a song rises sharply, did its sales increase by the same percentage? The size of a ranking rise is not the sales growth rate. A ranking shows a song’s position relative to other songs. Actual sales figures for both weeks are needed to calculate the growth rate. Where can the exact sales figure for the No. 1 song be found? The published ranking table does not provide sales figures for individual songs. Check whether Official Charts has published the figure separately. If no figure is available, it is more accurate not to estimate the sales volume or the gap between songs. Can the same record still be checked next week? The record for that week can be found in a date-specific archive. The general sales chart URL may change to the latest weekly page. When citing it, include the chart name, year, and period shown. FAQ Q. What was No. 1 on the UK Singles Sales Chart for September 18 to 24, 2026? A.
