4. Ariana Grande - No Tears Left to Cry

as Ariana Grande. The singer released the lead single from her new album
Sweetener in April and it spent three weeks at Number 1.
5. Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still
It's certainly one of the catchiest tracks to come out of 2018 so
far. Portugal. The Man's 'Feel It Still' spent four weeks at Number 2 in
the first half of 2018 but could never quite manage to reach the top
spot.
6. Keala Settle & The Greatest Showman Ensemble - This Is Me
It's amazing that this song never made it to Number 1! 'This Is Me' from The Greatest Showman movie has spent longer in the chart than any other song in the Top 10, after first entering back in January 2018.

in-a-row at Number 1 on The Official Vodafone Big Top 40.
9. Jess Glynne - I'll Be There
Jess Glynne is the queen of The Official Vodafone Big Top 40 with
more Number 1's than any other female artist. I'll Be There topped the

10. George Ezra - Paradise
George Ezra returned with his second album Staying At Tamara's
in 2018 and it's produced some of his biggest hits to date. He's not

Off the back of his tracks 'Silence' with Khalid and 'Wolves' with

with another huge name - British singer Anne-Marie.

12. 'Want You Back' - 5 Seconds of Summer
It felt like they were away forever but Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer finally returned in 2018!
'Want You Back' is the first single to be taken from the group's
third album, released later in the year, and is about still having
feelings for someone long after you've split up.
13. 'Say Something' - Justin Timberlake ft. Chris Stapleton
Singer, actor, producer, entrepreneur... there's not much Justin
Timberlake can't turn his hand to. On 'Say Something', Justin gives
country rock a go - and absolutely nails it.
