Elton John & Dua Lipa are fighting it out with Ed Sheeran for Number 1 on this week’s Official Singles Chart. Ed’s current chart-topper Shivers (1) holds a narrow lead at the top of the Official Chart First Look, while Elton & Dua’s Cold Heart (Pnau Remix) (2) is just 2,500 chart sales behind.

Cold Heart is Elton’s highest-charting single as a lead artist since his re-release of Are You Ready For Love hit Number 1 in 2003. The track trails his new album The Lockdown Sessions, which includes collaborations with Nicki Minaj, Lil Nas X, Miley Cyrus, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks, and more.  

Ed continues dominate the Official Singles Chart in the run up to his new album =, released on October 29. Former Number 1 Bad Habits rebounds three places to Number 3, while album track Visiting Hours is back up six spots to Number 16.

Global viral smash Heat Waves by Oxford band Glass Animals is on course to reach new heights on the Official Singles Chart this week, up three rungs to Number 5. Another single climbing back up the Top 40 is the title track of Billie Eilish’s latest album Happier Than Ever, set to make a return to the Top 10 this Friday, up two places to Number 9.

Finally, Becky Hill & Topic's My Heart Goes (La Di Da) continues to scale the Top 20, currently up three spots to Number 14. 

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.

I am not thinking about that. It won't happen and we will make sure it won't happen.

I've still got hope that either 'Cold Heart [PNAU Remix]' or 'Love Nwantiti [Ah Ah Ah]' will be future #1's, maybe even both of them will make it later this month. :)

Yeah not likely this week as 'Cold Heart' does well on sales so I doubt will make gains on Ed this week, might have to wait for ACR unless 'Love Nwantiti' can make it

It would be so awesome if EJ got a #1 in 2021 and Dua deserves it, I hope Cold Heart does it soon, but Love nwantiti has really grown on me and I reckon it could do it as its doing so well everywhere!

Don't Forgot the Official Christmas Charts is From 31st December weekly edition, the data taking place of your sales and streams from Christmas Eve/1st Day Of Christmas which is 25th to Christmas Week 30th December. the broadcast fake Chart at Christmas EVE is not Christmas as that the run up from 17-23rd December only, UK Radio 1 & Top Of The Pops branded Christmas Charts have always been a week early, the only reason that got away with it, is this silly Week Ending/tracking, which is ridiculous

Then there was last year where the chart was on Christmas Day itself, so they ended up announcing the Christmas #1 on Top Of The Pops before the Radio 1 chart show! :P

Yeah i know right but the data is before christmas, (Christmas Day) Radio 1 and Top Of The Pops have never included christmas Day or Week Sales Data, so the charts broadcast or branded it not really a christmas charts, and always a week behind, that not a lie its the Truth, So this year is not 24th December like the broadcast say, its From 31st Decemeber the True Christmas week sales Charts (that includes From Christmas Eve Data) As The only one that counts so called thanks scott is from 17-23rd December only, thats not Christmas.

'Heat Waves' has definitely had one of the weirdest chart runs of 2021 so far, but hey, I'm not complaining about it if it means that it'll finally go Top 5 on Friday. :)

It has really grown on me over the last week and tbh I'm glad its had a strange run because if it hadn't returned to the top 20 a couple weeks ago, I doubt I even would've listened to it properly! Its also definitely a future #1 on my personal chart soon, but Lil Nas X & Maisie Peters are currently blocking it :P

'Heat Waves' might drop out of my next chart unfortunately, but Maisie Peters might be a contender for #1 yet again! :O
