Eminem battling Stormzy for his 10th UK Number 1 single with Godzilla ft. Juice WRLD
The Official Chart: First Look, which is broadcast on BBC Radio 1 between 6pm – 7pm, offers a first glance of the Top 20 ahead of Friday’s Official Singles Chart Top 100.
Here's how the week is shaping up so far.
Eminem returned with a surprise album Music To Be Murdered By last Friday (January 17) and three songs from it are heading to the Top 20, with one vying for Number 1. Godzilla ft. the late Juice WRLD is currently at Number 2, just over 200 chart sales behind the current Number 1 Own It by Stormzy ft. Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy. Eminem has previously scored nine UK Number 1 singles, his last being River ft. Ed Sheeran in January 2018.
Ed is back again with Eminem at Number 7 with Those Kinda Nights, and Slim Shady also occupies Number 12 with Unaccommodating ft. Young Ma.

The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights is set for the Top 5 for the first time, up four to Number 4.
Ironically with the same name as the movie Eminem starred in, Ei8ht Mile by drill rapper Digdat ft. Aitch is on track to become his first UK Top 10 single at Number 9.
Korean band BTS could score their third UK Top 40 single this Friday (January 24) with Black Swan, currently at Number 22 after scoring the most downloads across Friday and Saturday.

Concerning the US charts, why did Eminem have to go and release his surprise album on the same week as Halsey's? She could have had the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 had Eminem not released an album out of complete nowhere.

When will we get rid of RAP. The sooner the better for me.

LOL crying about the presence of rap music in the charts? Is this 1998?

That link for Godzilla is not the official Eminem YouTube channel & views of that video will not be counted for the charts. This is the correct link: https://youtu.be/nbqMIBYJlvk

Not heard Eminem's new album yet, but I'm certainly looking forward to checking it out! :)
'Own It' remaining at #1 despite that shows how dominant it really is, but I adore 'Blinding Lights' set to become The Weeknd's first Top 5 hit since October 2016.
Glad to see 'Yummy' continuing to fall fast...

Even though I would love Eminem to be number 1, The Box seems to be in front of Stormzy by a fair ammount on Spotify, so was quite surprised at Own it being number 1 on update, suppose all streaming data hasnt been added yet!
Piran
Yeah, having a chart update on Sundays mean that this is all based on two days of sales & one day of streaming only.
'The Box' will probably climb to #2 in the final chart!
