Ed Sheeran on track for highest new entry and three Top 5 singles
Ed Sheeran is on the cusp of claiming three Top 5 singles this week.
Leading the Official Chart Update is Ed’s I Don’t Care with Justin Bieber, which is vying for an eighth week at the helm of the Official Singles Chart this Friday. Beautiful People featuring Khalid, the third release from Ed’s upcoming album No.6 Collaborations Project, is on track to be this week’s highest new entry at Number 3, while the Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock-assisted Cross Me holds at Number 4.
Should Beautiful People remain in the Top 10 by Friday, it will mark Ed’s 24th Top 10 single.
Meanwhile, Sigala is charging towards a seventh Top 10 hit with Wish You Well featuring Becky Hill, up three to Number 8. Mabel is also eyeing a climb into the Top 10 with Mad Love, so far up four places to Number 9.
AJ Tracey’s Ladbroke Grove climbs three places to 19, while Summer Days from Martin Garrix, Macklemore and Patrick Stump has scaled seven slots to 26 at the midweek stage. Just behind are Chris Brown, Justin Bieber and Kid Ink with Don’t Check On Me at 27.
Whitney Houston may claim her first new UK Top 40 entry in nearly 10 years as Higher Love with Kygo starts at Number 31, and finally, after performing on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on Friday, George Ezra’s Shotgun could land back into the Top 40 this week, currently at Number 39.

I don't get why this guy is so popular, I really don't. His songs are generic pop by numbers drivel, and the fact he's roped in some other "cool" names smacks of desperation, mainly on their part. I suppose this is what you get when you can listen for free and have it count towards a chart placing..

I'm really looking forward to Ed's new album; it sounds like it'll be really diverse in the numbers of genres he's approaching.
Outside of that, it's cool to see 'Wish You Well' & 'Mad Love' heading for the Top 10, but the best part by far is Whitney Houston potentially returning to the Top 40 for the first time in almost a decade! :)
