DJ Khaled, Rihanna and Bryson Tiller are set to make a big splash on this week's Official Singles Chart with their new collaboration Wild Thoughts.

The track, which interpolates Santana's 1999 hit Maria Maria, is already at Number 3 on today's Official Chart Update following its release last Friday (June 16). 

Just two months ago, rapper/producer DJ Khaled debuted at Number 1 with his Justin Bieber/Quavo/Chance the Rapper/Lil Wayne mega collab I'm The One just two months ago. Both songs feature on his upcoming album Grateful, released on June 23. The collection also features guest spots from Beyonce, Jay Z, Drake, Nicki Minaj and Calvin Harris.

Camila Cabello's Crying In The Club continues to climb and could sneak in the Top 20 this week, up four spots to 19 in today's update, while Calvin Harris' brand new song Feels ft. Pharrell, Katy Perry and Big Sean lands at 20.

Happy to see 'Wild Thoughts' start at #3; it should be extremely likely to become Rihanna's 30th Top 10 hit!
Also pleased that 'Power' & 'Crying In The Club' are both climbing too. :)

Hey! I've noticed you tend to comment on the article now and not the chart update. Is that because of the comments bugs and stuff?

Hey, I hope you're having a good day! :)
Yeah, that's exactly the reason! It's so my comments from previous weeks don't blend together with the ones I'm posting today.

I see. It's only the actual charts where the comments are blended, isn't it?

Yeah, that's right!
In other news, what do you think of the 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' cover by Artists For Grenfell?
It sold 120k in the first 24 hours of release, giving it the highest first day sales of any single this decade & it's already very likely to take the #1 spot tomorrow.

Yup, just read about it. Couldn't hear John Newman in it at all though! :(
