Danish band Lukas Graham could claim this week’s Number 1 single with their latest single 7 Years.

The soul-pop quartet’s debut UK release has pushed last week’s chart-topper - Zayn’s Pillowtalk – down to Number 2 on today’s Official Chart Update and currently leads the pack by 5,000 combined sales.

Lukas Graham’s 7 Years has already proved a huge success across Europe, hitting Number 1 in Sweden, Austria and their homeland Denmark. The track has been charging up the UK Top 40 since its release last month, entering at Number 24 and climbing to Number 6 last week.

Little Mix are looking good to land their eighth Top 10 single this week with Jason Derulo collaboration Secret Love Song, jumping four spots to Number 7, and Derulo’s own track Get Ugly edges closer to the Top 10, jumping  from 17 to 11.

Further down the chart, Coldplay’s Hymn For The Weekend vaults from 60 to 28 mid-week, DJ Fresh’s Dizzee Rascal and High Contrast collaboration How Love Begins debuts at 32, and Adele’s When We Were Young is back heading back for the Top 40 at 36.

So much for Zayn Mailks staying power then. I didn't find 112000 copies that impressive. Now any act with 150000 upwards in a week impresses me.

You first, since you're obviously into this kind of sappy music.
