Carly Rae Jepsen takes on Wiz Khalifa in Official Singles Chart race

Carly Rae Jepsen is set to score her second UK Number 1 this weekend with I Really Like You. The track is the lead single from Jepsen’s upcoming third studio album Emotion and is the singer-songwriter’s first release in almost two years. 

Jepsen previously topped the Official Singles Chart back in 2012 with Call Me Maybe, which became the second biggest selling single of 2012 and has since sold over 1 million copies in the UK.

But the race isn’t over yet, as reigning Number 1, Wiz Khalifa’s See You Again FT Charlie Puth (2) trails by just over 1,000 copies at this midweek stage.

Elsewhere, OMI’s summer anthem Cheerleader slides one place to three, followed by Jess Glynne’s Hold My Hand (4).

Rounding out today’s Official Singles Chart Update Top 40 is Major Lazer’s Lean On FT MO and DJ Snake (5).

New entries

Swedish DJ/producer Alesso is on track to score a fourth Top 10 this weekend with Roy English collaboration Cool (6), while viral sensation AronChupa is set to make his Official Chart debut with I’m An Albatraoz (18).

English grime artist Skepta is on track for his first solo UK Top 40 in three years with Shutdown (22).

Taylor Swift’s Style (37) climbs four places today to re-enter the Top 40, trailed by Hozier’s Someone New, up 24 places to 39.
