Sienna Spiro makes it two weeks at number one

Sienna Spiro has held the UK Official Singles Chart number one for a second consecutive week with Great Expectation. The track, taken from her debut album Visitor, first reached the summit on the chart published on 11 September 2026 and remained there a week later.

When it first hit number one, Great Expectation dethroned Ella Langley’s Choosin’ Texas. For the London-born pop artist, still only 20, the climb made her the youngest British woman to top the Official Singles Chart since Becky Hill in 2014. Holding the position for a second week turns a breakthrough moment into a sustained run at the summit rather than a one-week spike.

From the top 40 to the summit

Spiro’s year has been built on a steady run of singles rather than an overnight hit. You Stole the Show, The Visitor and Material Lover all reached the UK top 40, giving her a sustained chart presence before Great Expectation went all the way. Her breakthrough single, Die on This Hill, has also returned to the fray: on the chart published on 18 September 2026 it re-entered at number 10, leaving her with two titles in the upper reaches of the chart in the same week.

That double presence underlines how quickly the catalogue around Visitor has taken hold. Great Expectation is taken from that record, so the set now has a flagship single at number one months after the album’s arrival — a rare alignment for a first full-length release still finding its audience.

A BRIT nomination in the same year

As of the chart published on 18 September 2026, Great Expectation remains at number one and Die on This Hill sits at number 10. The combination — a second week at the summit, a re-entry in the top ten, a run of earlier top 40 singles — is the full measure of where Spiro stands in mid-September.

What she releases next, and how long Great Expectation stays at the top, will decide whether this is the opening chapter of a longer chart run or the high point of an already striking debut year. For now the facts are plain: a 20-year-old London artist has a number-one single that has held for two weeks, a second track back inside the top ten, and the industry’s attention fixed firmly on what follows Visitor.
