Eliza Rose’s B.O.T.A (Baddest Of Them All) looks to vault into Top 5 for the first time
Eliza Rose’s B.O.T.A (Baddest Of Them All) flew into the Official Singles Chart Top 10 for the first time last week, after successfully translating its viral origins into chart success. Now, the white hot track has its eyes on cracking the Top 5 too - it’s currently up six places to Number 4.
While one dance smash finds its chart legs, the ruling banger Afraid To Feel from LF SYSTEM looks set to bat away the nearest competition for seventh consecutive week at Number 1, while George Ezra’s Green Green Grass could re-peak at Number 2.
After weeks of upward momentum, OneRepublic’s I Ain’t Worried eyes a new peak of Number 6 in the UK, thanks to the ever-growing popularity of parent film Top Gun: Maverick.
Calvin Harris, Justin Timberlake, Halsey and Pharrell Williams’ funky team-up Stay With Me hopes to jump three places into the Top 10 (10). It would become Calvin’s 28th, Justin’s 21st, Pharrell’s 9th and Halsey’s 4th UK Top 10 hit respectively.

Two fast-rising dance hits could once again hit new peaks this week; James Hype and Miggy Dela Rosa are getting closer and closer to that Top 10 entry with Ferrari (11) and Luude and Mattafix continue to make gains with Big City Life (15).
Nicki Minaj returned this week with her first solo single, Super Freaky Girl, in nearly three years. The new track - which samples Rick James’ classic Super Freak - is currently on course to debut at Number 17, Nicki’s 40th Top 40 entry.
The Official Singles Chart Top 100 is revealed on OfficialCharts.com every Friday at 5.45pm. Follow the Top 40 countdown live on BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart show with Scott Mills.

As Top Gun Maverick is released on streaming services, does this mean that Hold My Hand by Lady Gaga will go back on the Top 40? We will have wait and see on Friday and even the midweek charts to see if it can go on the Top 40.

I would like it if 'Green Green Grass' went No.1 this week.

B.O.T.A. is a bit boring, because the vocals don't sound engaging. Another unexciting viral track.

Crazy What Love Can Do in the top 5 and 21 Reasons avoiding ACR and heading for a new peak! 😍

Hoping history can grab a top 15 spot come Friday and hoping this could finally be the week CWLCD gets that top 5 spot!

Over half the songs in the top 20 are dance! The of dance music this year continues!!!

Eliza Rose - B.O.T.A (Baddest Of Them All) Would Make A Great Number 1 After LF System
Piran
Four dance songs in the Top 5! :O
That being said, I'd have loved to see 'Break My Soul' sneak in at least one week at the top.
Piran
Glad to see 'Ferrari' nearing the Top 10!
It'd be cool to see it break into the region before Friday. :)
Aaron
More than likely it will :)
Piran
, I didn't think 'Not Over Yet' would drop that far today. :/
Hope it can rebound throughout the remainder of the tracking week! 🤞
Rob Parkinson
Yeah shame, be more of an idea tomorrow on the update. Lots of things could move around tomorrow and also by Friday, could be an interesting chart
