There are further more chakras.
Ascending through the center of the subtle body is the median Nadi of Sushumna (fire). to the left and right of which ascend the Chandra (moon) and Surya (sun] Nadis respectively. These channels are described as being a thousandth of the thickness of a hair. The lunar and solar nadis enter or unite with the Sushumna in the Muladhara chakra and ascend to the region of the Anja chakra where they then descend to the left and right nostrils, while the Sushumna rises to the Sahasrara chakra. From the two nostriLs extend the channels of prana which carry the breath to the distance of twelve finger widths. At the base of the Sushumna is the Muladhara chakra (perineum),in which
Kundalini lies coiled and sleeping with het head sealing the bulb (Kandal or entrance to the Sushumna. The Muladhara chakra is described as having four petals (plexus of nadis) and sealed with the square yellow element of earth.
Above this is the Svadhisthana chakra (pubic region], having six petals and
sealed with the white half-moon of the water element. At the navel is the I
Manipura chakra often petals and sealed with the red triangle of fire. Near the
heart is the Anahata chakra of twelve petals and sealed with the blue hexagram
of air. At the throat is the Vishudda chakra of sixteen petals and sealed with the
white circle of the element space. At the center of the forehead is the Ajna
chakra with two petals and sealed with none of the five gross elements, but with
the subtle essence of Mind. At the crown of the head is Sahasrara, the brilliant
thousand petalled lotus.
Each ol the chakras is described as having various deities and bija syllables at
their centers and on each of their petals. (lt need hardly be said that it is not
supposed that there are any actual lotuses or letters engraved thereon. These
and other terms are employed to represent realities of yoga experience.--
Arthur Avalon).
The three secret chakras of Golata, Lalata and Lalana are said to be located on the uvula at the back of the throat, above the Ajna chakra, and within the soft upper palate. Their main inner yoga practice is in Khacari Mudra. In Khecari Mudra the linguae under the tongue is progressively severed and the tongue is gradually lengthened by stretching until it can extend to a point between the eyes. The tongue is then turned inwards and upwards to press on and enter the duct of
"the two headed snake and seal the tenth door" within the cranial cavity above the soft palate. The pressure of the tongue on the “Ama kala"—the receptacle of lunar nectar, causes the lunar nectar (amrit; soma] to flow downwards abundantly and permeate the entire body with supreme bliss. Attainment of Khecari Siddhi confers a divine body of immortality which is free from aging,
corruption and disease, endowed with the eight great magical siddhis. The "two headed snake" is the channel that extends from the back of the throat to the “rnoon" just above the Ajna chakra. The "tenth—door“ is the tenth orifice or aperture of the body. The "Ama-kala" is the true philosopher's stone of immortality.

As far as i know there are 7 primary chakras which are as follows
muldhara
swadisthana
manipura
anatha
vishuddha
ajna
sahasrara
there are many more minor chakras but these are the major ones in the body and required for normal functioning of the body according to scriptures.

It depends how you define above. When you gaze upwards with a sufficiently uncoiled etheric spine, ajna sits above sahasraar. Further uncoiling reveals additional chakras.
