It’s Dua Lipa vs Dave & Central Cee for this week’s Number 1 single

dua dave central cee

This Barbie’s in a chart battle! Dua Lipa’s is right now challenging long-time champions Dave & Central Cee for Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, with just over 1,000 chart units currently separating Sprinter (1) from Dance The Night (2). 

If Sprinter does hold on, it will secure itself a 10th consecutive week at Number 1, equalling Miley Cyrus' run with Flowers for the longest-running chart-topper of the year so far.

On the other hand, if Dua does end up having the upper hand in this race,  Dance The Night would become her fourth UK Number 1, and first completely solo since New Rules in 2017.

But you would also be a fool to count out Billie Eilish and What Was Made I For? which is kicking at Dua’s heels to reclaim its Number 2 peak, and maybe even fight for the top spot too.

Nathan Dawe, Joel Corry & Ella Henderson could re-enter the Top 10 this Friday on 0800 Heaven (7), while Becky Hill and Chase & Status’s Disconnect is looking to jump up to Number 9; possibly Becky’s sixth Top 10 hit and Chase & Status’ fifth and first in 10 years.

Following its Top 20 debut last week, Calvin Harris & Sam Smith’s Desire could lift up eight to Number 10, it would be Calvin’s landmark 30th Top 10 single and Sam’s 13th. 

Finally, Anne-Marie & Shania Twain could bounce up seven for a new Unhealthy peak (15).

'Desire' entering the Top 10 is a very pleasant surprise! 

I think I like it even more than 'Promises' now.

Very pleased to see 'Disconnect' heading for the Top 10! 😁

One of Becky Hill's best songs to date for me.

Glad to see Dua in the runner-up position! 😊

Even if I'd prefer Billie at the top as far as the Barbie hits go, I wouldn't complain if 'Dance The Night' got there at all.
