An 18th UK Top 10 hit is on the cards for Justin Bieber with new single Yummy.

Justin Bieber is on course for the highest new entry of the week with latest single Yummy.

Following its January 3 release, Yummy - a song which is believed to be about his love for wife and model, Hailey Baldwin - and Bieber's first solo release in more than two years, starts the week at Number 8. If the Canadian superstar maintains his position through until Friday, Yummy will become Bieber’s 18th UK Top 10 hit, almost 10 years on from his first - Baby ft. Ludacris - back in March 2010. See all of Justin Bieber’s singles and where they charted in the UK.

The decadent lobster-filled video for Yummy dropped yesterday, featuring a pink-haired Bieber dancing on the tables of a grand dining room in low-slung gingham trousers. Yummy is the first track from the singer's forthcoming fifth studio album. Watch now:

Stormzy, Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy look set to continue their reign of the Official Singles Chart this week with Own It. Own It became the first Number 1 of the new decade last Friday, and gave Stormzy his third chart topper in 12 months  - the first time a British rapper has achieved the feat in more than 10 years, since Tinie Tempah (2009-10).

Here's what Stormzy had to say about Own It landing at Number 1 when he popped into Official Charts HQ last week.

2019 breakthrough star Lewis Capaldi is on track to dominate this week’s Top 20 with three entries riding high still - Before You Go (2), Someone You Loved (6) and Bruises (12). His album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent was confirmed by the Official Charts Company earlier this week as the biggest album of 2019.

After teasing the track on Boxing Day, Birmingham rapper Mist looks likely to score the second highest new entry on Friday, opening the week just outside the Top 40 with latest release Savage (49). The dancehall-flavoured Zeph Ellis production is Mist’s first single since his ‘47’ collaboration with Sidhu Moose Wala, Steel Banglez and Stefflon Don back in October.

Justin Bieber song was #01 on UK iTunes on Friday eventually falling to #02 and #03 on Saturday. This udate chart takes into account sales from Friday and Saturday (as well as streaming). On Sunday Justin song kept falling on UK iTunes and it's now at #12.

On UK Spotify the song keeps falling as well and it's now at #06.

Not sure about UK YouTube as the video felt from TOP 20 Most Views daily and I can't see the rest (#01 has over 700k views and #20 about 200k) but I don't believe that the video will do any good for the song as it's outside TOP 20.

Looking at it now it will be surely a TOP 20 debut but I doubt it will debut TOP 10.

I want 'Yummy' to just tank. People are not vibing with this song, and I can see why. Fans have been waiting 5 years for Justin's return, and for him to come back with something so lackluster is very disappointing. The song is too basic, already dated with the same trap beats we've heard a million times before, and the lyrics are terrible. Just let it flop.

The chart is abysmal, utter rubbish, how can anyone call the Stormzy song good? It's ! Only two artists with talent in the to 20, a and that's Lewis capaldi and Ella Henderson

For me "This Is Real" by Jax Jones and Ella Henderson sounds a lot like "Say My Name (Calvin Harris Remix)" by Florence + The Machine.

"Own It became the first Number 1 of the new decade last Friday, and gave Stormzy his third chart topper in 12 months - the first time a British rapper has achieved the feat in more than 10 years, since Tinie Tempah (2009-10)."

... surely you mean since Dizzee Rascal, at least according to last week's article? Also, I can only see 10 songs here despite the Top 20 usually being posted, is this happening to anyone else?

Anyway, 'Own It' getting a second week at #1 is cool! Wiley certainly won't be happy about that, haha. :P

I'm very surprised about 'Someone You Loved' back in the Top 10, despite having charted for over a year (& entered the Top 10 initially back in February!), but it must've come off ACR in order for this to happen!

I'm glad 'Yummy' is debuting lower than expected for JB! I don't mind his R&B style, but this comeback single of his just , sorry Beliebers.

I doubt it going far worldwide it might debut in the top ##3 in the US so far it's top in America on digital

Piran

Yeah, it looks like JB's next era might be one where the lead single isn't the most successful one, much like Taylor for 'Lover' or Ariana for 'Thank U, Next'.

I bet 'Yummy' will make a top 10 debut in the US, and then just fall off the charts the week after. I don't see any longevity for this song at all.

So much for the hyped Bieber comeback..Looks like he's lost his no.1 Mojo..Another badly needed collaboration with Ed Sheeran again?

You don't like that Yum Yum Yum Piran haha.

Hey Jstar! :)

No, 'Yummy' is more "yucky" to me, haha.

Did you like it?

J

I mean when I first heard it. I was like what is this lol. But honestly I have been listening to it a lot since it came out. Technically I wouldn't even say it is a good song. But somehow I still keep playing it haha.

But it hasn't got a very positive reaction so I don't expect it to have much longevity. Hopefully his second single has more mass appeal. But when I first heard the title Yummy, I wasn't expecting to much, so I guess that is why I actually don't mind it since I wasn't expecting anything great.

Piran

Yeah, it's one of those songs that's addicting but you just know it's terrible, much like 'Baby Shark was last year, haha. :P

I mean, I'm all for JB going back to his R&B sound (although I did prefer his EDM-inspired hits) but at least be creative dude!

Hey, at least it's not as embarrassing as 'Baby' though! :P

I can almost guarantee his second single will be an improvement. I mean anything called Yummy was destined to probably not be great.

But I still expect a top 5 debut in the U.S. I am not sure if it will even make the top 10 in the U.K though since it is only 8 at midweek. Sorry though for example ended up being bigger than What do you Mean? So I definitely think he still has much better songs on the album. What do you Mean? was a better lead than Yummy to most people though.

J

Jstar

1

Well I am not sure about that, he was only 15 though and other people were more responsible for writing the song. He is 25 now so I am not sure if that was more embarrassing lol.

In a way, I'm glad 'Yummy' is flopping, since it'll hopefully tell JB that he's much more popular making the kind of music he did back in 2015!

I do agree though, 'Lover' was like that too... 'Me!' performed decently despite not getting very good critical acclaim, while a lot more fans liked 'You Need To Calm Down' more, which was also a bigger commercial success. :)

avatar

Piran

1

Eh, true.

I guess I can forgive him for only being a teenager back then, but certainly not here! :P

J

Jstar

1

Yeah, even though I did think Me! was actually really good. You need to Calm Down did get a better reception.

But JB has still had some good features over the years. I know he still has a lot left in him. Well I see the billboard article posted. I will see you when it posts on Headline Planet.

Oh yeah, I remember that 'Me!' was one of your favourite tracks from 'Lover', while it was rather the opposite for me! :P

Sure, we'll talk soon! I'll do my usual posts tonight, as well as a Billie Eilish Top 10 that Coolocelot requested last week.

I'm hoping the second single is better, then I might give his next album the benefit of the doubt...

yah let's wait and see what happens when he drops another single from the album

avatar

Piran

Yeah, but even then, it'll be lower Top 10 in the US at best!

I'm not even sure it'll get that high in the UK yet... :O

avatar

Piran

1

Yeah, surely this is a one-off... I know JB is way more talented than anything he's showing on 'Yummy'!

Anyway, the Hot 100 article is now up, so I'll see you there. :)

but I still don't have a problem with the new one Piran it's sounds ok although pop electro you prefer, I also like the other side

It sounds so bland to me, across the board!

Ultimately, it's a massive disappointment than being outright awful, which I why I really came down hard on this. :(
