Cardi B’s new single WAP ft. Megan Thee Stallion goes straight to Number 1 on the Official Trending Chart.

The anthem - which broke Cardi B's website upon announcement last week - is on course to debut at Number 5 this week with over 2.6 million streams racked up in the UK so far this week.

With its eye-poppingly explicit lyrics sending the internet into a frenzy (and upsetting some US congress nominees along the way), it's been a strong start for the single. You can check out WAP's official music video below, featuring ‘toned-down’ language complete with some interesting lyric replacements for the song’s title.

If WAP continues on its current trajectory, it will be Cardi's fifth Top 10 single and Megan's second Top 10 hit. It's expected to appear on Cardi B's upcoming second album. Her debut album, 2018's Invasion of Privacy, reached Number 5. See Cardi B's Official Chart History here.

Elsewhere on the Official Trending Chart, more new entries come from the late Juice Wrld with The Weeknd collaboration Smile; Manchester rapper Bugzy Malone could claim his third Top 40 song with M.E.N. III, his first single since a serious motorcycle accident in March; D-Block Europe's We Won; and Machine Gun Kelly's My Ex’s Best Friend ft. Blackbear.

There are big climbs from Little Mix with Holiday, following a new remix by MNEK that interpolates Shalamar/Liberty X's A Night To Remember, Jason Derulo’s Take You Dancing, currently up 12 to 34, and Dua Lipa’s latest single Hallucinate, which features on her Number 1 album Future Nostalgia.
