Beyonce and BREAK MY SOUL enter race for Number 1 this week after RENAISSANCE release
Beyoncé is having a RENAISSANCE in more ways than one. Following the release of her critically acclaimed seventh solo album, the record’s lead single BREAK MY SOUL could challenge long-reigning champions LF SYSTEM for Number 1 this week. BREAK MY SOUL is currently set to bounce from Number 6 to Number 2…but can it raise higher?
The RENAISSANCE effect continues further down the chart too - two new songs from the album could also debut in the upper echelons of the chart. Cuff It (10) and I’m That Girl (11).

David Guetta, Becky Hill and Ella Henderson have become staples of the Official Singles Chart Top 10 in recent weeks, and now Crazy What Love Can Do could travel even further up the chart. It could jump up one position to Number 6.
Nathan Dawe and Ella Henderson’s 21 Reasons is currently on track to reach a new peak of Number 8.
Two fast-rising dance-hits are on the move this week; James Hype & Miggy Dela Rosa’s Ferrari could vault eleven (25) while Down Under hitmaker Luude and Mattafix could move the exact same (26) with both potentially seeing new peaks.
The Official Singles Chart Top 100 is revealed on OfficialCharts.com every Friday at 5.45pm. Follow the Top 40 countdown live on BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart show with Scott Mills.

The gains for Ferrari and Big City Life weren’t expected, but they are definitely welcome!

Break my soul...is the immediate single in the album for sure, it is much more polished up. The rest of the album is quirky, fun and edgy. Bey out cusses her husband for sure. Like Vogue for Madonna, there is a lot of queer culture references as well.

Cloudbuster
COME ON, Bey. We know you can do it. Renaissance is the best album of the year for sure.

I see two bitter Gaga stans (that I know of) giving me the thumbs down. Poor things.

Fake numbers by the play buttons of virtual clicks

No 'Three Lions'? Maybe that will change by friday...
⁉️
Because nobody cares about woman’s football…

John Hawkins
Yes, I was expecting to see the Lightning Seeds here too. Do the women's team not have three lions on their shirts?
rayever
Becky Hill’s songs could get a slight boost too due to her performance
rayever
I love afraid to feel, but I wouldn’t mind if BREAK MY SOUL went number 1
rayever
Hopefully CWLCD gets a new peak! 🤞
Piran
Kate Bush ended up a lot more stable this week than I would've expected, but definitely not complaining about that! :D
JH
John Hawkins
Yes. She is still leading the 7-day streams on Spotify and number 3 on I-tune downloads. So without that silly OCR she may still be at number 1, as she is in Ireland and Australia.
rayever
BMS is still on SCR, it’s not eligible for ACR yet. Afraid To Feel has better sales which is why it’s leading
Piran
I think 'Afraid To Feel' would still be #1 even if 'Running Up That Hill' was on SCR. 🤔
Piran
Excited about the gains for 'Ferrari' & 'Big City Life' lower down. :)
Piran
Glad to see 'Break My Soul' among the contenders for #1!
I hope the rest of the album can grow on me, but it was a very good single choice. :)
