Avicii is Number 1 on the Official Trending Chart.

The Swedish DJ's first posthumous track SOS leads the trending Top 20 this week as the fans pay their respects to the record producer who took his own life on April 20, 2018. He was just 28-years-old.

All proceeds from SOS - which features vocals from Avicii's Wake Me Up collaborator Aloe Blacc - will benefit the Tim Bergling Foundation, which was set up in aid of mental health awareness.

So far SOS has reached Number 12 in the UK, and is expected to climb the Official Singles Chart in its second week on chart. Elsewhere in the world, SOS hit Number 1 in Avicii's native Sweden and Finland, Number 2 in Norway, Number 3 in The Netherlands and Switzerland, and Number 5 in Ireland.

Another song gaining in popularity is Wiley, Stefflon Don, Sean Paul and Idris Elba's Boasty, Number 2 on this week's trending tally. Boasty could enter the Official Singles Chart Top 10 for the first time this Friday following the release of remixes from Conducta and Kingdom 93.

Lil Dicky's Earth is a big new entry this week. Released last Friday (April 19), the comedic environmental awareness track features vocal cameos from the likes of Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran who are portrayed as animals.

Madonna makes her first Official Trending Chart appearance as Medellín with Maluma makes its debut, and there are also big soundtrack new entries from Kygo and Rita Ora's Carry On (taken from the upcoming movie Pokémon: Detective Pikachu) and Game of Thrones Season Eight song Power is Power from Sza, The Weeknd and Travis Scott.
