Calvin Harris, Pharrell, Katy Perry and Big Sean are chasing this week’s Official UK Number 1
Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber better watch their backs – another mega collaboration may topple them from the top spot this week.
Feels, Calvin Harris’ latest single featuring Pharrell, Katy Perry and Big Sean is gaining huge momentum, and comfortably sits in the Number 2 position on today’s sales flash.
While Despacito still has the lead on today’s Official Chart Update, Calvin and co are just 500 combined sales behind. Should Despacito slip from the top, Calvin will claim his eighth UK Number 1 single, Pharrell his fourth, Katy her fifth and Big Sean his first.

Racing up the chart from Number 12 to Number 3 midweek is Enrique Iglesias’ Subeme La Radio, featuring Sean Paul and X Factor winner Matt Terry, and the rest of the Top 5 also features high climbers. Rudimental and James Arthur occupy Number 4 at the midweek stage with Sun Comes Up, and Dua Lipa’s New Rules could reach new heights, up four to Number 5.

New entries and high climbers
The Script are close to netting their fifth Top 10 entry at Number 10 with Rain (which has vaulted 21 places), while Jax Jones, Demi Lovato and Stefflon Don’s Instruction is also making huge gains, flying eight to Number 14.
Elsewhere, five other tracks could rise the ranks to crack the Top 40 for the first time. They are: Duke Dumont and Gorgon City’s Real Life (31); Charli XCX’s Boys (32); J Hus’ Spirit (34), Coldplay & Big Sean’s Miracles (36) and Arcade Fire’s Everything Now (37).
Finally, Camila Cabello’s OMG featuring Quavo could just squeeze into Friday’s Top 40, and is at Number 39 today.

Make Calvin Harris' (songs) Great Again

Feels is good but everything else from the new album is a sandwich
I Am A Stegosaurus
Looks like a fairly chart update, unless Feels manages #1.

Bring Shape Of You back to the top again.
I Am A Stegosaurus
You might as well have asked to bring back Gangnam Style to the #1 spot because that's just as likely

I guess 14 weeks is good enough. :)
I Am A Stegosaurus
Should have been at #1 for 4 weeks maximum. It's just mainstream cancer. Virtually ANY song at 14 weeks would be ridiculous

I still like 'Despacito', but I'm really hoping that 'Feels' can get to #1 eventually!
It's good to see: 'Subeme La Radio', 'Sun Comes Up' & 'New Rules' all continuing to climb in the Top 10.
I'm definitely pleased to see that: 'Miracles', 'Everything Now' & 'OMG' should make it in by Friday. :)

There is an argument that Feels would be Big Sean's second #1, as he was on Ariana Grande's Problem (he whispered the 'I got one less problem without ya' bit in the chorus). It may be worth incorporating this argument into the article.

Uncredited, doesn't count, Labrinth never got credited for singing the CHORUSES of 'Pass Out' by Tinie Tempah so why should Big Sean get credit in Problem? And all of the people who've sung for Avicii, even including big stars like Aloe Blacc.
