Drake is set to claim the Number 1 spot on this week's Official Singles Chart with his track In My Feelings, which is the subject of a new dance craze.

The 'In My Feelings' challenge was created by Instagram comedian Shiggy and has already been attempted (rather flawlessly, we should add) by Drake himself. 

Since then, stars such as Will Smith Kevin Hart, Ciara and her husband Russell Wilson have uploaded videos of themselves having a go at the challenge. 

If In My Feelings - taken from his Number 1 album Scorpion - can hold on to the top spot for Friday's Official Singles Chart, it'll be his fifth UK chart-topper and third in 2018 alone, following God's Plan in February and Nice For What in April. 

Another Drake track is also holding firm in the Top 5, his Michael Jackson collaboration Don't Matter To Me, which features vocals from a previously unreleased 1983 recording by the late pop icon.

New entries and high climbers

Ariana Grande looks set to claim this week's highest new entry with her latest single God Is A Woman, currently at Number 5 following its release last Friday. Elsewhere in the Top 10, 5 Seconds of Summer could claim their first Top 10 hit in four years with Youngblood, up three places to Number 8, and Tiesto's Jackie Chan ft. Dezko, Preme and Post Malone hops from 12 to 10. 

Elsewhere, Cheat Codes and Little Mix's Only You contines to make strides up the Top 40, currently up nine places to 19, Childish Gambino is new at Number 31 with Summertime Magic, and Martin Garrix and Khalid could sneak into this week's Top 40 with Ocean, so far up three spots to 39.

@officialcharts As people stop streaming and listening to 3 Lions (a drop from number 1 to number 83 midweek!), what's the biggest fall from number one, to a chart position the following week? I remember iron maiden had a big drop, and I think also Busted and 5SOS, but whats the biggest fall from Number 1?

I seriously hate 'In My Feelings' and this so-called "dance challenge". They both need to just die.

'In My Feelings' is one of the better tracks from 'Scorpion', so I'm actually fine with it going to #1!
I love 'God Is A Woman' debuting at #5, as well as 'Youngblood' & 'Jackie Chan' expected to go Top 10.
It'll be interesting to see where 'Three Lions' ends up in the full update.
