George Ezra's latest single Shotgun could return to Number 1 on this week's Official Singles Chart.

The track, which became his first chart-topping single last month, is in a close battle with Drake's In My Feelings for this Friday's top spot. George is currently at Number 1 and ahead by just under 2,000 downloads and streaming equivalent sales.

Canadian duo Loud Luxury continue to climb with their club hit Body, up four places to Number 4 in this week's Official Chart Update, and US producer Benny Blanco could be landing his first Top 10 as a named artist; Eastside ft. Halsey and Khalid leaps seven spots to Number 5. 

New entries and high climbers

Jax Jones is now on the cusp of scoring his third Top 10 with Ring Ring ft. Mabel and Rich The Kid, up four places to Number 12, and Israeli musician Dennis Lloyd could break into the Top 20 with Nevermind, up seven to Number 18. 

Finally, three songs are on track to debut inside this week's Top 40: David Guetta's Don't Let Me Alone ft. Anne-Marie is at 37, and Barbie Dreams (38) and Majesty (40) from Nicki Minaj's new album Queen. 

Final places will be announced on Friday at 5.45pm here on OfficialCharts.com. Follow along with the Top 40 live on BBC Radio 1's Official Chart show with Scott Mills from 4pm.

I think it'll be one of the hardest weeks to call for #1 on Friday.
It'll be interesting to see what the next new #1 will be though! :)

It could be the new Calvin Harris/Sam Smith collaboration. He has had 9 number one's to date!

What do you think of that song by the way? I find it very interesting; I didn't think this collaboration would work at all, but it's reminds me of a throwback to 90s disco!
It'll probably debut in the Top 10 given its dominate sales, but streaming is holding it back a little.
