It doesn’t look like Clean Bandit will be giving up their chart crown just yet, as Rockabye is set for a second week at the top of the Official Singles Chart.

At the halfway stage of the chart week, the trio have a healthy lead over Little Mix’s Shout Out To My Ex, which holds firm at Number 2.

Rockabye is Clean Bandit’s second Number 1 single following Rather Be in 2014, the first for featured singer Anne-Marie and the third chart-topper for guest rapper Sean Paul, after Breathe with Blu Cantrell (2003) and What About Us with The Saturdays (2013).

New entries and high climbers

Elsewhere in the Top 10, Swedish producer/collective Neiked are on track to crack the Top 5 with Sexual, currently at 5, and hip hop duo Rae Sremmurd could be landing their first UK Top 10 hit with Black Beatles ft. Guuci Mane, currently up 27 places to Number 9.

Electronic trio Vaults are on course to hit this week’s Top 40 with their cover of Randy Crawford’s One Day I’ll Fly Away (24). The song is the soundtrack to this year’s John Lewis Christmas advert, featuring Buster the Boxer.

Robbie Williams’ Love My Life – taken from his Number 1 album The Heavy Entertainment Show -is up 31 places to 26, and performances by Nathan Sykes and Olly Murs on last night’s X Factor results show sees them make big chart gains today. Sykes’ Famous zooms 35 spots to 27, while Murs’ Grow Up vaults 32 places to 29.

Finally, two more new tracks could debut inside this week’s Top 40: The xx’s On Hold sits at 34 on today’s update, and Zara Larsson’s I Would Like is at 37.

Happy clean bandit are on course to remain at number 1! Also happy to see NEIKED hit the top 5. i think Rae Sremmurd will climb alot higher come the end of the week with black Beatles. Elsewhere, it`s good to see Olly Murs climb the chart.
And hopefully Zara Larsson can debut in the top 40, once again she has released another song which sounds amazing!
