OMI’s reggae-pop hit Cheerleader continues to battle it out with Wiz Khalifa’s Fast & Furious tribute track See You Again for this week’s Official Singles Chart top spot.

Cheerleader overtook See You Again and midweek leader Carly Rae Jepsen’s I Really Like You (Number 4 today) at the final hurdle last week to claim Jamaican-born OMI his first UK Number 1.

But, this week the race is well and truly on again as Cheerleader leads See You Again by just over 5,000 copies at the midweek stage.

Elsewhere, Bristol-based deep house production duo Blonde are on track to score this week’s highest new entry with All Cried Out FT Alex Newell (4), while Major Lazer’s Lean On FT MO & DJ Snake (5) is set for a third week in the Top 10 .

New Entries

There are three further new entries in today’s Official Singles Chart Top 40. Swedish singer/songwriter Tove Lo is on course to score her fourth UK Top 20 on Sunday with new single Talking Body (13), while British trio M.O are heading for their Top 40 debut with Preach (28).

Mumford & Sons look set to re-enter the chart at 40 with Believe (34), the lead single from third studio album Wilder MindSee where Wilder Mind sits in the Official Albums Chart Update.

Finally, Electronic music duo Disclosure round out the Top 40 with new track Bang That (40).
