Major Lazer, Justin Bieber and MØ's Cold Water soars to Number 1 on the Official Trending Chart
Major Lazer's star-studded new single Cold Water has soared straight to Number 1 on this week's Official Trending Chart.
The track, which features Justin Bieber and MØ, tops the list of 20 songs making a big impact in the UK this week (full methodology below).
The hype surrounding the Ed Sheeran-penned song has been building since news of the collaboration leaked weeks ago, and as such, is on course to land straight in at Number 1 on this week's Official Singles Chart.
Cold Water is one of two entries for Danish singer-songwriter MØ on this week's trending tally; her latest headline single Final Song also makes an appearance and is set to hit a new peak on the Official Singles Chart this Friday, currently at 17.
Elsewhere, Bastille feature prominently on the Official Trending Chart as momentum builds around their new single Good Grief (currently up nine places to 15 in the latest Official Singles Chart sales flash), and Anne-Marie features with her latest track Alarm, which is set to hit the Top 40 this Friday (July 29) for the first time.
Further down, a recently-released remix of Bob Marley's Is This Love by Lvndscape hits this week's trending Top 20, currently hovering just outside the Official Singles Chart Top 40 at 48, and The Stone Roses find themselves back in chart as their latest single Beautiful Thing gets a vinyl release this week.

About the Official Trending Chart
The Official Trending Chart is a brand new chart launched for 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 already highlighted emerging hits such as Number 1 singles Mike Posner’s I Took A Pill In Ibiza and Drake's One Dance.
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).
