David Guetta and Justin Bieber's 2U is on course to bag this week’s highest new singles entry
Justin Bieber is on track to bag another smash on the Official Singles Chart this week as his new single with David Guetta sets course for this week’s highest new entry.
The collaboration, called 2U, has made a strong start on the chart since its release last Friday (June 9), currently at Number 3 on today’s Official Chart Update.
2U marks Bieber’s third collaborative single this year. His previous two, on DJ Khaled’s I’m The One (also featuring Quavo, Chance The Rapper and Lil Wayne) and Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s Despacito, both reached Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.
For Guetta, the track could this week earn him his first UK Top 10 in two years, since 2015’s Hey Mama ft. Nicki Minaj and Afrojack.
"Justin has such a unique voice and I have so much respect for his talent but also for his choices," Guetta said in a statement. "He took some risks reinventing himself lately in such a cool amazing creative way.
"I'm very proud to finally share a record with him. I feel like 2U is an incredible combination of emotion energy with a huge melody combined with edgy sounds."
Meanwhile, Despacito’s grip on the top spot looks set to hold for a sixth week, while Ariana Grande’s One Last Time is at 2.
New entries and high climbers
Little Mix’s new single Power is on track for a big climb this week; the new version featuring Stormzy is currently up 19 places to Number 16 following the unveiling of its accompanying music video last week.
Further down, Ariana Grande’s version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow is new at Number 22. The track has been released in support of the We Love Manchester Fund following her One Love Manchester concert earlier this month.
Further down, British producer/DJ Sigala opens at 24 with Came Here For Love ft. Ella Eyre, rising star Alma is at 37 with Chasing Highs, and DJ Khaled and Drake’s To The Max could be making its Top 40 debut this week, currently up 34 places to 39.

I wish 2U could just dethrone Despacito, because out of all the Bieber songs this year, 2U is the only one that I actually like.

Not a bad week overall!
Happy to see 'One Last Time' not fall & that 'Power' should be the biggest climber inside the Top 40 this week.
'2U' grew on me a lot since its release, so I like that it's currently #3! :)

Hey Piran. :)

Hey Marco! How have you been this week? :D
You must be very happy about JB appearing in the Top 10 three times a featured artist in the same week! I don't know if that would be another record for him, but it's sure impressive!

I like 2U as well. I was hoping it could be this week's #1, because I am not fond of Despacito.

Ha-ha you got 4 likes just for saying 'hello' to someone xD

I like both songs, so I don't really mind what's #1, although I really wish 'One Last Time' got the top spot last week!
That said, unless there's a major new entry, I can't see 'Despacito' leaving the #1 spot for at least another month.
