Eminem and Beyonce's new single Walk On Water takes the top spot on this week's Official Trending Chart.

The surprise collaboration, which the rapper dropped unexpectedly last Friday (Nov 10), tops the list of new songs making a big impact in the UK this week, based on movement up the Official Singles Chart. 

Walk On Water, which is co-produced by the rapper's longtime collaborator Rick Rubin, marks Eminem's first new music in two years, since he featured on songs for the Southpaw film soundtrack. The track has made a strong start over on the Official Singles Chart this week, currently at Number 4 in the latest update

If Walk On Water can hold its place in the Top 10, it'll be his first single to reach the top tier in the UK since his 2014 collaboration with Sia, called Guts Over Fear.

Meanwhile, British rockers Elbow also feature prominently on this week's Official Trending Chart following the release of their new single Golden Slumbers, a cover of The Beatles's 1969 hit that serves as this year's soundtrack to the John Lewis Christmas advert.

Golden Slumbers is on course to be Elbow's first new Top 40 hit in nine years - look back at more songs from Christmas TV adverts that conquered the charts here.

Elsewhere on this week's Official Trending Chart, afrobeats star Fuse ODG is on track for his biggest hit in three years thanks to a little help from Ed Sheeran; their new collaboration Boa Me is currently sitting just outside the Official Singles Chart Top 40 in the latest sales flash. 

Further down, Jason Derulo's brand new single Tip Toe with rapper French Montana makes waves on the trending Top 20, while rising star Raye features as her latest single, Decline, is on track to make a sizeable leap on this week's Top 100.

About the Official Trending Chart

The Official Trending Chart was launched in 2016 to highlight the hottest new tracks beginning to make an impact in the UK every week.

The Top 20 rundown, published on OfficialCharts.com every Tuesday, based on the first four days’ sales of each chart week, is designed to highlight emerging hits as they begin to scale the Official Charts and build buzz.

The Official Trending Chart ranks titles which are showing week-on-week chart growth, and is the only “new music” chart to reflect audio track sales and streams comprehensively across all services.

Devised by the Official Charts Company in close consultation with labels, retailers and media, the chart since launch has highlighted emerging hits such as Number 1 singles Sign Of The Times by Harry Styles, New Rules by Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do.

The chart is designed to help highlight hit singles in their early stages of their growth, in the light of the shift in release strategies of record labels over the past six months. Under “On Air On Sale”, labels have started to release new music for consumers to buy or stream on the same day as those tracks are released to media (including radio stations and TV).
