J Hus's Must Be aiming for this week’s highest new entry on the Official Singles Chart
British singer-songwriter and rapper J Hus is set to claim the week’s highest new entry on the Official Singles Chart with his new single Must Be.
The track starts at Number 4 on the Official Chart First Look: an early glance at the UK Top 20 based on preliminary streaming and sales reports. Must Be is J Hus's first new music since his release from prison in April.
Meanwhile, Tones and I’s Dance Monkey is on track for a seventh week at Number 1, fending off a challenge from Dua Lipa’s Don’t Start Now, which is holding at Number 2.
London rapper Dave is aiming for a Top 10 debut with drill-inspired track Paper Cuts; his first release since winning the Mercury Prize in September for his debut album.
Niall Horan’s latest single Nice To Meet Ya is on course for a big climb, currently up 11 places to Number 15, following his performance on Friday’s The Graham Norton Show.
The Official Chart First Look Top 20 airs on BBC Radio 1 between 6pm and 7pm. The Official Chart Top 40 is unveiled every Friday from 4pm.

I am happy to see Niall climbing the single chart with his new single...took him time to get the single into the Top 20 but well worth the wait!!

It's weird how Niall Horan has less initial hype than his former bandmates but seems to win out in longevity.

exactly at first it was disappointing but the single is improving now.

I'm really hoping 'Don't Start Now' will hit #1 whenever 'Dance Monkey' goes on ACR!
Interesting to see both J Hus & Dave landing even more Top 10 debuts in 2019. :)

"Don't Start Now" is stabilising on Spotify and Apple Music so I think it's just a waiting game at this point.
Piran
Right now, I'm predicting that 'Don't Start Now' will go to #1 in two weeks time, given that Adele or Rihanna don't make a sudden comeback in that time.
