Dua Lipa's Houdini closes in on Jack Harlow's Lovin On Me in Number 1 single race

Who do you want to see take this week's Official Number 1 single?

We could be in for a photo finish on this week's Official Singles Chart, as latest figures show Dua Lipa closing in on Jack Harlow in the race for the UK's Official Number 1 single.

Earlier this week, The Beatles' Now And Then looked set to earn a second consecutive week at the summit as Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr took an early lead. Yesterday (November 14), though, Kentucky-born rapper Jack Harlow inched ahead and into pole position midweek with his brand-new track Lovin On Me.

Today, Official Charts Company data shows Jack to still be tracking for Number 1; while Dua's Houdini truly enters the race as his current closest competitor, eyeing a Number 2 debut.

Today's sales flash shows Dua to be closing in on Jack's possible first-ever Number 1 single, with 4,500 UK chart units separating the two tracks.

Meanwhile, The Beatles' Now And Then looks set to slip to Number 4 this week, with cassö, RAYE and D-Block Europe's unstoppable Prada holding steady in the Top 5; expected to land at Number 3 this Friday.

Should Jack retain his lead, he'll secure his first-ever Official UK Number 1 single this week.

Previously, Jack's earned Top 10 tracks with 2021 Lil Nas X team-up Industry Baby (3), 2022's First Class (2) and, most recently, Jung Kook collaboration 3D (5).
