Martin Jensen is Number 1 on this week's Official Trending Chart with what is shaping up to be his big breakthrough single, Solo Dance. 

The DJ and producer, who hails from Denmark, has seen the song steadily climbing the Official Singles Chart Top 100 for the last seven weeks. According to the latest chart update, Solo Dance is on course to enter the Top 10 on the singles tally, a climb of 15 places since last week. 

Before Solo Dance, Martin became a viral phenomenon on Facebook because of his videos, which took funny sounds from other viral videos and made them into tropical house mixes.

Steps are also making a big impression on this week's Official Trending Chart with their comeback track Scared Of The Dark, which is set to become their first Top 40 single in 16 years this week, after 2001's Number 5-peaking double A-side Words Are Not Enough/I Know Him So Well.

Also impacting is Nicki Minaj, who released three brand new tracks last week. Two feature on this week's Official Trending Chart (as two entries per artist are eligible for this chart each week) - No Frauds ft. Drake and Lil Wayne plus Regret In Your Tears.

Elsewhere, X Factor Louisa Johnson lands in this week's trending Top 20 with her brand new single Best Behaviour, while the latest teaser from Lorde's upcoming album, called Liability, also features.

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 highlighted emerging hits such as Number 1 single One Dance by Drake, and The Chainsmokers & Halsey's chart topper Closer.

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).
