Niall Horan Stopped From Charting A New No. 1 By Another Pop Star

Niall Horan’s “Dinner Party” Misses No. 1 as It Debuts

“Dinner Party,” the first single and title track taken from his recently-released fourth solo full-length, debuts on two U.K.-based rankings this frame. “Dinner Party” starts at No. 2 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart after finally being released to purchase on wax months after the song first became available digitally.

Ariana Grande Blocks “Dinner Party” from the Summit

Ariana Grande’s new smash “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” which introduces her upcoming eighth album Petal, beats Horan to the summit on the Official Vinyl Singles tally. That’s not surprising, considering the fact that “Hate That I Made You Love Me” leads nearly every roster it reaches this frame, including the Official Singles chart, the main songs roster across the Atlantic.

Ariana Grande Now Claims Five Vinyl Chart Leaders

Grande has now earned five champions on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, a sum that expands this week to include “Hate That I Made You Love Me.” Previously, she has led the charge with “Yes, And?,” “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” “Dandelion” and “34+35.”

“Hate That I Made You Love Me” marks Grande’s second new champion of 2026 on the chart. “34+35,” which was originally released as a single from her album Positions several years back, opened at No. 1 on the Official Vinyl Singles rundown back in January.

Niall Horan Has Scored Four Hits on the Vinyl List

Since first appearing on the Official Vinyl Singles rundown in the spring of 2023, Horan has racked up four hits, and each and every one of them peaked within not only the top 10, and not just the top five, but inside the highest two spaces. He ruled the roost with both “Heaven” and “This Town,” which managed one stay in the penthouse apiece. “Dinner Party” matches “Meltdown” by stalling in second place.

Niall Horan Earns Another Top 10 Hit Elsewhere

Over on the Official Physical Singles chart, “Dinner Party” debuts at No. 3. It marks Horan’s fifth trip to the list, which also takes into account purchases on CD and cassette, as well as vinyl, and somewhat surprisingly, his latest win marks a career low point. The singer’s four previous smashes have all risen to slightly loftier spaces.

“This Town” earned the singer-songwriter his first No. 1, while “Heaven,” “Meltdown” and “Our Song,” a collaboration with Anne-Marie, peaked at No. 2. Just as is the case on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, Ariana Grande’s “Hate That I Made You Love Me” rules the Official Physical Singles tally. Arthur Hill debuts “Hot Sprite” in the runner-up spot, just ahead of Horan’s latest.

“Dinner Party” Gives Niall Horan One More Top 10

Thanks to a huge uptick in purchases, “Dinner Party” also finds its way back to the Official Singles Sales chart. The song spent one week at No. 33 on the roster back in April, and then vanished entirely. Now it reenters the tally at No. 4, hitting a new high and earning Horan his ninth top 10.

Here are all of Niall Horan’s top 10 smashes on the Official Singles Sales chart.

• “Dinner Party”
• “Drive Safe” with Myles Smith
• “Everywhere (BBC Children in Need)” with Anne-Marie
• “Heaven”
• “Meltdown”
• “Nice to Meet Ya”
• “Our Song” with Anne-Marie
• “Slow Hands”
• “This Town”

Niall Horan’s “This Town” Returns as Well

At the same time that one of Horan’s newest singles both returns and debuts, his first song released on his own, “This Town,” mounts a slight comeback. That track breaks back onto both the Official Vinyl Singles and Official Physical Singles tallies, resettling at Nos. 34 and 44, respectively.
