Another firm favourite is Cardi B’s hit, ‘WAP’ (featuring Megan Thee Stallion), which comes in at number three; this popular hit was released in 2020 and rose to number one in the UK charts, where it stayed for three weeks.

Former One Direction lead Harry Styles also appears in the top ten at number five with a song from his latest album ‘Watermelon Sugar’.
