The "Coachella Effect" has officially taken hold of the UK Official Singles Chart this week, as standout performances from the California desert send classic hits and new favorites soaring. Topping the headlines is Justin Bieber, whose 2012 collaboration with Nicki Minaj, "Beauty And A Beat," has achieved a brand-new peak of Number 11—fourteen years after its original release.
Following a career-spanning headline set that dominated social media over the weekend, Bieber’s catalog saw a massive resurgence. "Beauty And A Beat" spiked an incredible 358% week-on-week, surpassing its original 2012 peak of Number 16. It wasn't the only Bieber track to benefit from the festival spotlight; more recent hits "DAISIES" and "YUKON" also returned to the standings at Number 15 and 26, respectively. With the second weekend of Coachella currently underway, all eyes are on whether "Biebs" can break into the Top 10 next week.
It was also a landmark week for KATSEYE. The HYBE x Geffen Records global girl group secured the week's highest new entry with "PINKY UP," landing at Number 14. The track, which made its live debut during the first weekend of Coachella, marks the group’s fourth UK chart hit and sets a high bar for their upcoming EP, WILD, due this August.
Despite the Coachella shake-up, Sam Fender and Olivia Dean remain immovable at the top. Their collaboration "Rein Me In" logged an eighth non-consecutive week at Number 1. However, they face stiff competition from Tame Impala, whose track "Dracula" (bolstered by a remix featuring BLACKPINK’s JENNIE) rose to a career-best Number 2.
Other notable moves include:
sombr: "Homewrecker" jumped to a new best of Number 4.
Dominic Fike: Continued his upward trajectory with "Babydoll" breaking into the Top 5.
Ella Langley: Celebrated her highest-charting track to date as "Choosin’ Texas" climbed to Number 13.
Sabrina Carpenter: Saw her hit "House Tour" return to the Top 20 following her own acclaimed Coachella performance.
As the desert dust settles, the UK charts prove that one iconic live moment can still rewrite music history.
