Aitch, AJ Tracey and Tay Keith set for highest new entry on the Official Singles Chart with Rain
Could Aitch be heading for his 5th Top 10 single in less than a year?
Aitch and AJ Tracey join forces on their latest single 'Rain' with Memphis producer Tay Keith, and the trio look set for the highest new entry of the week. The piano-laden collaboration opens at Number 3 on today’s Official Chart First Look.
If Rain maintains its momentum through until Friday, it will be 20 year-old Manchester rapper Aitch’s fifth Top 10 single in less than a year, his first being a feature on Young T & Bugsey's Strike A Pose in June 2019, before breaking through as a lead artist two months later with the Number 2 single Taste (Make It Shake). See all of Aitch’s hits and where they charted.
Reigning chart topper The Weeknd is on track to secure fifth week at Number 1, while Saint Jhn is a non-mover in second place.
Big climbs are on the horizon for Dua Lipa and Tones & I – Dua’s 80's-inspired anthem Physical leaps five slots toward a potential new peak of Number 8 on Friday, while former Number 1 single from Tones & I, Dance Monkey, resurges six places to Number 13.
And finally, Sam Smith also jumps four spots to Number 19 after two days. To Die For previously peaked at Number 20 in its opening week.

What is it with dance monkey!! Just wont go away climbing back up. 100% would still be a top 3 single if acr wasn’t a think
blobfishy
Rain is good. It's such a shame The Box is gonna miss #1 though. Also can Someone You Loved just leave.
Piran
Can anyone else only see 10 songs instead of 20?
Anyway, I love 'Blinding Lights' heading for a fifth week at #1, but 'Physical' finally hitting the Top 10 is the biggest highlight for me! :D
Sergej Dordij
Yeah, I see it too Piran. Weird that they have 10 songs instead of 20.
I like that "Blinding Lights" could still be at #1 and especially "Physical" possibly reaching the top 10!
Piran
Ah okay, glad it's not just me then! :P
As for the 11-20 range, it's cool to see 'You Should Be Sad' closing in on the Top 10, as well as 'To Die For' set to hit a new peak, but I'm disappointed about the huge second week tumble for 'Stupid Love'.
Sergej Dordij
Very surprised that "Stupid Love" is tumbling, thought it would have some staying power.
Also Piran, I have added my predictions to my chart, check it out, if you have the time of course. I can't wait for next week's chart, tomorrow will start my chill out week, before the massacre that will be my pre-exams, I hope it'll be good (I need to be positive for once.)
Brandon Mwinga
yah it's only 10 I'm suprised
#20,Bad guy (50 weeks in the chart )
#19 To Die For
#15 Better off without you
i remember these ones was listening
Brandon Mwinga
Hie Piran did you check out my latest chart
Piran
Yeah, I know most of Lady Gaga's latest hits have been very frontloaded, but I thought 'A Star Is Born' might've changed that... apparently not, it seems. :/
I'm going on Crown Note a little later tonight, but haven't had a chance to this weekend because I've been away in London for a big rugby match!
Hope the exams go alright for you man.
Piran
'Bad Guy' is still in the Top 20 after almost a whole year?! :O
Then again, look at 'Someone You Loved', haha.
Piran
Not yet, but I'm going on Crown Note later this evening, so I'll take a look then! :)
Sergej Dordij
The pre exams will happen on the March 18th, I need to be positive for this day.
Until then, I'm not worried. yet. And thanks for encouraging me, I need all the positive vibe from everyone.
But hey, more importantly I hope you feel good.
Piran
How long do they last for? A week? I've had so many exams throughout school, but trust me, if you put in the best effort you can, it's worth it when you get the end of them & especially when you see the results! :)
I'm doing really good outside of work now, but still having issues in work! I've discussed something with management that might lead to improvement though, so we'll see how that turns out over the next few days.
Sergej Dordij
No, the pre exam will be just one day (March 18th), the real exams will be next year in March and will last two days. I'll try to do my best.
I'm a little bit worried about you, if you have any problems, tell me and I'll try to help you with everything that I can.
Piran
Ah okay, well, I'm sure you'll do well & I'm here if you need a chat! :)
Thanks mate! There's not a lot you can do really unfortunately, since it's almost all work-related at this point.
Brandon Mwinga
yes it bounced back
