Benny Blanco, Halsey and Khalid's Eastside climbs to Official Trending Chart Number 1
Benny Blanco's new single Eastside continues to head north on the charts, taking the top spot on this week's Official Trending Chart.
The track is the US producer's first as a headline artist, features singer-songwriters Halsey and Khalid. Eastside entered the Official Singles Chart at Number 52 just over one month ago and has steadily climbed the Top 100 ever since. This week, it's set to enter the Top 10 for the first time, currently at Number 5 in the latest chart update.
The song is far from his first success; as a producer he's notched up over ten Number 1 singles and numerous Top 10s for the likes of Katy Perry, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber and Kesha.
Elsewhere on this week's trending Top 20, which is based on new songs climbing this week's Official Singles Chart, Nevermind by Israeli singer-songwriter Dennis Lloyd features prominently, as does David Guetta and Anne-Marie's Don't Leave Me Alone, which is on course to enter this week's Top 40.
Further down, Freya Ridings continues to make gains with her emotional, Love Island-featured ballad Lost Without You, and two songs from Nicki Minaj's newly released Queen album feature: Bed ft. Ariana Grande and Barbie Dreams.

About the Official Trending Chart
The Official Trending Chart is a brand new chart launched for 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 already highlighted emerging hits such as Number 1 singles These Days by Rudimental, Eminem's River ft. Ed Sheeran, and Lil Dicky's Freaky Friday.
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).
