Jeff Goldblum’s New Single Storms Multiple Charts And Almost Hits No. 1
by Hugh McIntyre · ForbesJeff Goldblum is primarily known as an offbeat, sometimes odd comedic actor. He’s starred in some of the most beloved blockbusters in Hollywood history, such as Jurassic Park and Independence Day, among many others. While he’s most famous for his work on camera, the star also has a music career—and he’s scored his first hit single on a number of charts with his latest release.
The superstar releases music under the name Jeff Goldblum & the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, which is fitting, since much of his output is reminiscent of the big band era. In May, the actor and musician released his new single Lover + Tattoo, a two-song collection that features the tunes “Lover” and “Tattoo,” as its name suggests. Now, that set has become a special win for Goldblum.
Lover + Tattoo debuts on three charts in the U.K. this week. The project—which counts as a single, not a short album, due to its length—marks Goldblum’s first career win on the trio of rankings it reaches this frame.
Goldblum barely misses out on earning his first No. 1 song across the pond with Lover + Tattoo. The cut(s) starts at No. 2 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart. Lana Del Rey and Quavo force the actor to settle for second place, as their joint hit “Tough” debuts in first place.
Lover + Tattoo nearly matches that performance on the Official Physical Singles chart. On that tally, Goldblum and his accompanying orchestra launch their track at No. 3. The same short studio effort also blasts onto the Official Singles Sales list at No. 80.

The two songs featured on Lover + Tattoo credit singer Haley Reinhart on streaming services, making them a collaborative release. Oddly, her name doesn’t appear anywhere on the U.K. charts, as she doesn’t seem to be properly named on the sales hit.
Lover + Tattoo looks like it is a standalone double single, at least for the moment. Goldblum most recently released an album, with his orchestra, last spring. In March 2023, he dropped Plays Well With Others. He has two other full-lengths, The Capitol Studios Sessions (2018) and I Shouldn't Be Telling You This (2019), which both reached the main albums chart in the U.K.
