Eminem and Rita Ora challenge Camila Cabello for Number 1 following MTV EMA performances
Things are hotting up in this week's Official Singles Chart – Camila Cabello's Havana feat. Young Thug looks set to have some serious competition from acts who shared the stage with her at the 2017 MTV EMAs, held in London on Sunday night.
The former Fifth Harmony star, who picked up the Best Pop award, is eyeing a third week at the top, but close behind – just over 2,000 combined chart sales – at Number 2 is Anywhere from Rita Ora, who hosted the show as well as performing.

Also making an impact on today's Update at Number 4, and with potential to make big gains this week, is Eminem's brand new single Walk On Water, which the rapper performed as he opened the show.

Chart highlights
Big Shaq's Man's Not Hot could end up Top 10 this week, as it's at 9 today, and Stormzy and MNEK could also be going Top 10 this week, for the third time each – their collaboration Blinded By Your Grace, which U2 lead singer Bono sang in place of an acceptance speech when picking up the Global Icon award, zooms 12 places to 10.
Elbow look set to return to the Top 40 for the first time in over five years, as their cover of the Beatles' Golden Slumbers, which soundtracks this year's John Lewis Christmas advert, starts at 16; Clean Bandit are in line for an eighth Top 20, as I Miss You feat. Julia Michaels rises to 19; and Lil Pump's Gucci gang is up six to 32.

Please make Anywhere number 1. This song is so lovely. And it deserves it.

Not a fan of Eminem and have yet to hear his new song (although it does feature Beyonce, ugh), but I wouldn't mind if that got to number 1, over the generic Havana and Rita Ora is terrible nowadays so I hope she doesn't hit the summt

The Top 10 is looking really good right now! :)
I'm pleased that 'Havana' is set for a third week at #1, but I really hope 'Anywhere' gets there at some point.
I'm loving that 'Walk On Water' is expected to debut that high, as well as 'Man's Not Hot' & 'Blinded By Your Grace, Pt.2' potentially entering the Top 10!

I hope 'Anywhere' gets to #1 as 'Havana' gets hit with the 300:1 ratio, to give 'Havana' the longest spell at #1 as possible while also getting 'Anywhere' to #1. I do think it's possible that 'Anywhere' may be blocked first by 'Havana' and then by 'Walk On Water', though. 'Havana' is looking strong at the moment and the new remix ft. Daddy Yankee should be enough to keep it at #1, even if the remix only contributes an extra 1,000 sales or so, and 'Walk On Water' has been doing very well on both sales and streaming, similar to 'Havana', while 'Anywhere' is doing very well on sales but is lagging behind a bit on streams.

I hope so much for Anywhere to be number 1. And loved her performance . It was amazing ❤
Piran
Yeah, her performance at the EMAs was one of the best of the night. She did a really good job hosting the show too! :D
Piran
That seems the most likely thing to happen right now.
At the moment, 'Anywhere' passed 'Havana' on iTunes ('Havana's current sales are 82% that of 'Anywhere's). Meanwhile, 'Anywhere' got 2.92 million streams on Spotify over the past seven days, while 'Havana' had 3.90 million. I wouldn't be surprised to see 'Rockstar' get hit by the 300:1 streaming to sales on next week's main chart.
