Rita Ora bags the UK's Number 1 trending song for a second week with her latest single Anywhere.

The track tops the chart of 20 new songs that are making a big impact in the UK, based on movement up the Official Singles Chart since last Friday (Nov 3).

Anywhere debuted at Number 20 on the singles chart upon its release a fortnight ago and climbed to Number 11 last week. Now, following her X Factor performance last weekend, the track is on course to break the Top 10 this Friday (November 10), up four places to Number 7 in the latest sales flash. 

Rita currently has ten Top 10 singles to her name, two of which she claimed this year; Your Song reached Number 7 and her Avicii collaboration Lonely Together topped out at Number 4. See where her other singles have charted in the UK here.

Rita recently announced details of her UK tour, which kicks off in May 2018 and includes a date at London's O2 Brixton Academy. More details here.

Taylor Swift's latest buzz track ahead of her new album Reputation, called Call It What You Want, makes a strong entry, and Stormzy and MNEK's Blinded By Your Grace Pt 2 climbs as it sets course for this week's Top 20 on the singles chart, up 21 places this week in the latest update.

Further down this week's trending Top 20, N.E.R.D's new Rihanna collaboration Lemon - the band's first single in seven years - features, and does David Guetta's brand new track Dirty Sexy Money ft. Afrojack, Charli XCX and French Montana. 

Finally, Kygo's new single Stargazing and Katie Melua's Children In Need single Fields Of Gold also impact this week's trending chart. Katie's cover of the Sting classic has been released as a tribute to the charity's Life President, Sir Terry Wogan, while money raised will go towards the appeal.

About the Official Trending Chart

The Official Trending Chart was launched in 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 singles Sign Of The Times by Harry Styles, New Rules by Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do.

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).
