Camila Cabello and Young Thug are eyeing up another week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.

Havana took 13 weeks to climb to the top spot and is proving tough to remove on today’s Official Chart Update. The Latin-influenced song is 6,000 downloads and streaming equivalent sales ahead of Post Malone’s Rockstar (2), the song it dethroned from Number 1 last Friday.

Meanwhile, Sam Smith’s Too Good at Goodbyes experiences an uplift following the release of his second album The Thrill Of It All, ascending four spots to Number 3. Rita Ora is also enjoying a huge spike following her performance on The X Factor last night; Anywhere rises seven places to Number 4.

New entries and high climbers

Parody track Man’s Not Hot by Big Shaq (aka comedian Michael Dapaah) zooms eight spots to Number 12 at the halfway stage of the chart week, while Taylor Swift could earn a fourth Top 40 hit from her upcoming album Reputation as new buzz track Call It What You Want starts at 16 today.

Stormzy’s Blinded By Your Grace – Pt 2 featuring MNEK could become the rapper’s fourth Top 20 hit this week, scaling 21 positions to Number 19 midweek, while fellow Grime star Dave is also set for the Top 40 with No Words ft. Mostack at Number 23, and How I Met My Ex at Number 35.

Still no sign of X Factor Tracks in the top 100 as for unknowed reasons as Kevin White, Grace Davis and Rak-Su has had a very big impact on the download charts but not added to any sales or information, expecailly Rak-Su who has been top and Grace Davis at 2nd download of the day, there have not charted at all on sales or the top charts due to unknowed reason, this could be a promo thing as the winner single has not been released or a not a charity setup, either way well done to the people who downloaded and supported your favioute acts in the X Factor Currrently, but we wont been seeing them in the radio charts this week or in a couple weeks until the winner or maybe a charity song setup.

I'm so pleased to see 'Havana' not only remain at the top, but extend it's lead from 4,000 to 6,000 over 'Rockstar'! :)
I love that 'Anywhere' soaring to #4 & that both 'Man's Not Hot' & 'Call It What You Want' are both in the Top 20.
That & the release of Sam Smith's second album are going to make Friday's chart an interesting one for sure!

I'm hoping 'Havana' can pass 'rockstar' on streams soon. Yesterday it was only 35k away on UK Spotify! I don't know if it'll get more combined sales than it did last week though; at the midweek stage it's only at around 20,000 while last week it sold just under 49,000.
I also think that 'Man's Not Hot' has a decent chance of getting a Top 10 placement this Friday; it's continuing to climb across all services.
Did you see my reply to you on the main chart? I went quite in detail there and asked a few questions that I'd like to know your opinion on. :D

Hey Gameskiller! :)
A Top 10 placing is certainly possible for 'Man's Not Hot' & even radio are starting to give it some attention now. Where do you see it peaking?
I did respond to your post to me back on Friday.

I can see 'Man's Not Hot' peaking somewhere in the lower reaches of the Top 10, which I'm pretty sure would make it one of the most popular parody tracks of all time, especially given how it's proving to have longevity and is even climbing, rather than having good first week sales and then dropping rapidly like most parody tracks.
Yeah, you responded to my first comment, but I then replied to your reply in the very early hours of Sunday morning and I don't think you've seen that one yet (or if you have replied to it I can't see it).
