While LadBaby is still No. 1, at Number 5 midweek, the second-most downloaded track of the week so far is punk band The Kunts with the controversial "Boris Johnson Is Still A F**king C**t" - a follow on from their 2020 campaign which finished in the Top 5 last year. It's a strong start, but the band will need to keep up the momentum to hold on to their current placing against the streaming might of other tracks. Comedians Adam Rowe and Dan Nightingale from the Have A Word podcast are in No. 39 with their charity single Laura's Gone, featuring Finlay K.
