It looks like it will be a big week for Drake on this week’s Official Singles Chart: he’s set to land three spots in the Top 10 following the release of his Dark Lane Demo Tapes album.

Current single Toosie Slide jumps from 4 to 2, Chicago Freestyle ft. Giveon is new at 7, and Not You Too ft. Chris Brown opens at 9. View Drake's full Official Chart history so far here.

Meanwhile, BBC Radio 1’s Stay Home Live Lounge Allstars narrowly hold the lead at Number 1 with Times Like These, less than 200 chart sales ahead of Toosie Slide.

A new remix of Doja Cat’s Say So featuring Nicki Minaj could send the track to a new peak this week, up seven places to Number 3. Say So has already proven a runaway hit this year, already spending nine weeks inside the Top 10.

Similarly, a new version of Megan Thee Stallion’s Savage featuring Beyoncé is sending the song up the chart, currently up 18 places to Number 4.

AJ Tracey could be securing his fourth Top 10 with new single Dinner Guest ft. Mostack, currently at Number 10.

Finally, Amanda Holden is set to make her Official Chart debut this week with her rendition of classic hit Over The Rainbow, currently placed at Number 14. The TV star and Britain’s Got Talent judge is releasing the song to raise money for the NHS.

The final Official Chart Top 40 will be unveiled on BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart with Scott Mills this Friday from 4pm, with the full Official Singles Chart Top 100 published on OfficialCharts.com from 5.45pm.

Is Madonna's I Don't Search I find selling well?

I really hope "Say So" can get the #1 instead of Drake. "Times Like These" staying at the top is impossible unless Radio 1 and its artists spammed it on their socials or something. Also wtf at "Break My Heart" not going to the top 10 after two of her songs went to ACR. It deserves better!

Say So getting Number 1 would be cool, do you know what places the songs on ACR would be without it being a thing?

I wish DOJA CAT could be our brand new number 1 single but like LIZZO did with Ariana Grande a few months ago with her remix, she never entered the Top 5 and i don't think Doja will enter the Top 5 this week...

Unpopular opinion but I love ACR. It keeps the turnover rate high and makes the charts more active. I hate a stale chart.

You’re not alone. I like to see change in the charts, and if ACR didn’t exist then Dance Monkey would still be #1, and it’d be boring.

Now that the worst song The Weeknd ever did (period) is on ACR, we can see quality songs become big! :D

As a fan of urban music I’m really happy to see Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion collect their first Top 5’s, and I’m yet to hear the other two Drake songs (though I’m disappointed that Toosie Slide didn’t hit #1). Rover entering in the Top 10 is awesome as I’m getting into it a lot, but I’m still waiting for Juice WRLD to enter the Top 20. (Can’t rig the charts, only 10 streams a day per person :/)

And outside of the urban songs, I just adore If The World Was Ending. I love it to bits. If we can get Halsey’s tremendous song in the charts, I’ll be a very happy bunny. :)

Get ready for a spectacular week!

Also, 67 comments in less than three hours on a "First Look" article?!

Man, the activity on this forum is really starting to soar! :O

Hold on... 'Say So' at #3 & 'Savage' at #4?!

I completely missed both of these, but I didn't think the remixes would boost both songs by that much! Glad they did though, as I love the originals. :)

Will be interesting to see if Nicki Minaj or Beyonce will be credited on either song going forward.

Three Drake songs in the Top 10, his mixtape was quite good honestly, looking forward to his studio album in the summer. Like the use of the sample 'Push The Feeling On' from AJ Tracey's new song. Honestly I think Amanda Holden's song is abysmal but it's for a good cause I guess. ACR has struck lots of songs and Blinding Lights is still at 5th, can it make it to 20 weeks at Top 10?! I wonder what it would be without ACR. Times Like These and Toosie Slide are very close at the top, looking forward to the final outcome, exciting week with lots of new entries! Disappointed 'Be Kind' by Marshmello and Halsey isn't supposed to be Top 20, maybe it will be a sleeper hit.

Yeah, I think 'Be Kind' will make the Top 40 too, but it'll be a slow burner.

Be Kind Is very a nice song I'm suprised too

While it's nice to see 'Times Like These' at #1 on today's update, we all know that 'Toosie Slide' will unfortunately overtake it by the time the final chart is released! They might even swap places as soon as tomorrow.

Oh well, at least Amanda Holden's cover of 'Over The Rainbow' looks like it'll comfortably make the final chart & I'm pleased that 'If The World Was Ending' is finally in the Top 20 too! :)

Glad new fresh songs in the top 10. Happy for Toosie Slide it's time up for Blinding Lights

I'm liking Savage &Say So remix both of them very well remixed
As For Drake ft Chris Brown it's one of my favourite release this week !

Did anbody notices Don't Start Now has disappeared I thought Dance Monkey would but unfortunately!

avatar

Piran

'Don't Start Now' dropped out of the Top 10 as it's on ACR now, but hey, at least it spent an incredible 25 weeks inside the region! :D

I liked both remixes too, but I prefer the original for both songs.

Yeah, a lot of Drake in the charts this week!

25 incredible! !! I'm sure it's going to platinum X2 this year!
As for Say so I will stick with original
Savage wasn't so good on me until I heard remix Beyonce can rap !!

Amazing choices, especially 'Don't Start Now' at #1! :D

I'll post mine on the Hot 100 article tomorrow night.

I'm really happy both are in the Top 5 on the "First Look"! :D

Heck, 'Say So' could even be as high as #2 if 'Times Like These' falls far enough during the tracking week...

I expect Amanda Holden to be much lower in the final chart, just as other NHS charity songs, such as Matt Lucas' Baked Potato (10 to 34) and Beth Porch (4 to 25). Interesting to see where it is on the midweek chart later today.

Yep. Vera Lynn was #20 two weeks ago on First Look then tumbled to #85 on the final chart. If it starts at #14, it will be hard to stay in the top 40 on Friday

Yeah, it'll inevitably crash throughout the tracking week, but I hope it doesn't fall out of the Top 40 entirely.
