Headie One is set to land a new chart peak as well as this week's highest new entry following the release of his debut studio album, Edna.

His single Ain't It Different ft. AJ Tracey and Stormzy is up two to a potential new peak of Number 2. If it can hold its place, this will be Headie One's highest placing on the Official Chart to date.

Headie is also on course for this week’s highest new entry with Princess Cuts ft. Young T & Bugsey (14), following the release of his debut studio album Edna. Check in on tomorrow's Official Albums Chart update to see how Edna is doing at the midweek point.

24kGoldn is set to scoop a fourth week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart with Mood ft. Iann Dior, currently leading by 1,500 chart sales after 48 hours.

Miley Cyrus could land her sixth Top 5 hit with Midnight Sky, which rises three places to Number 5, and Sigala & James Arthur could be heading for the Top 10 as Lasting Lover leaps nine places to Number 8. If it can stay on course it’ll be Sigala’s eighth Top 10 and James Arthur’s seventh.

Clean Bandit & Mabel could also tick up to the Top 10 with Tick Tock ft. 24kGoldn, which is up four to Number 9.

Wes Nelson & Hardy Caprio are set to enter the Top 20 with See Nobody - Wes’ debut single, and Hardy Caprio’s fourth Top 40 hit – which is up three to Number 19 on today’s sales flash.

The final Official Singles Chart Top 40 will be unveiled on BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart with Scott Mills this coming Friday from 4pm, with the full Top 100 published on OfficialCharts.com from 5.45pm.

Streaming is the most popular to rule the UK singles charts! hands down, Unlike its US equivalent, the UK chart has never counted radio airplay, but one of the most controversial parts of its current system is that it does count “passive listens” through streaming services. These are songs streamed as a result of being in a playlist, rather than having been deliberately sought out by the listener. Considering many of the biggest playlists are owned and operated by major labels, it’s hard not to see this as tantamount to authorised chart-hyping.! with what sounds a brilliant idea for the future as streaming is overtaking the pure sales due to the modern system and killing it, for Singles charts for radio 1, do u think ? we should limit the spins of free play on paid subscription and non paid with ads like spotify to 6 times play for the track free that you love than you pay
50p for the track forever! and after you pay (the spins count will be stop per unit/house/etc from your account) in that way it stop added false streaming points via free spin/playlist/shares to total units complete
and beyond for modern tracks. as the paid tracks from download or physical (Pure sales) will still be 1-1 copy's as it should be as you pay for the track, or maybe I Tunes should drop all tracks to below 75p
even as low as 35p a track to boost download specs, in this way we get back up to 200K each week for a top tune and beyond, as overall data show today charts it struggling to get 150k+units even at christmas for a
top song, as that way its a true reflection, then all this ridiculous fake million or fake 2 million unit that are from streaming compared to pure sales

Streaming counts way too much for the charts as points are inflated so younger artists chart higher. Sales charts is way different. I still can't believe how Stream "sales" are actually 60 times higher for charts in comparation to real sales. I mean 1 digital song sold gives actually 60 times more money than 1 fake streaming unit sold. If we look at physical sales 1 single sold gives 120 times more money than 1 fake streaming sold. The certifications are laughtable as those same streams count also for Album certifications besides singles - so are counted twice inflating even more all fake sales.

And yes those fake million sellers are all from past decade to make it seem that music industry is in very good health and new artists are alll huge sellers when it actually isn't that way. Real sales for most of those acts are quite low.

I totally agree, I always love pure sales and streaming is a different unit matter now And it like a computer technology charts with points and ratios, and think radio 2 should do a physical or sales countdowns modern era it be better but I still love listening to charts.

Stream the out of "Looking For Me" so it goes to No.1 this week so it can stop "Mood" from going to No.1.

Wap has dropped that much due to ACR Rules System now (Total unit slashed by over half this week) to be fair it would of stayed in the Top 5.

About time streaming fake sales are cut to half. Even now 60 stream chart unit give artists the same money as 1 real track sale (sales should still count 60 times more for an economic fair chart as for physical sales the ratios is even worst). Music labels want to put new artists on top of the charts as they are the ones that have more streams. And streams can give good money if they are really a lot but most artists that became big before this past decade (2010's) still make most of their money from sales.

Lets not forget that the same streams are being counted twice for charts (for singles and album charts - that's why 60 streams give the same money as 1 song sold plus 1/10 of an album )

Yeah but is still way behind MNEK's head & heart, even though it was no.1 for weeks after it knocked it from no.1

Yeah but they soon resort to releasing the tracks on streaming knowing they will continue to make money for time to come whereas just getting the money for a sale is a one off thing, it won't continue to sell but if people continue to stream then the artist will continue to make money.

Sure and that's why sometimes there are some decade old songs re-entering the TOP 100. It doesn't make much sense. That's why on Christmas now TOP 10 is almost just Christmas songs as on previous decades at best you had 2 Christmas songs on TOP 10 - it makes no sense.

I'm not saying streaming shouldn't be there - it exists and generates money. I'm saying it should have its real value and not be inflated so much! Stream songs popularity is inflated 60 times and certifications are being counted twice as are going for both albums and singles charts - albums sold count just once for album chart as do singles sold that are only on singles/songs chart, yet the same stream counts twice as it's used for both charts and both charts certifications.

It's quite weird that without really selling much (except a few songs from Adele and Ed Sheeran) the 20 best selling songs of all time are almost all from the past decade due to streaming being counted dozens of times more than it should in reality.

Looks like Headie One's new album won't be enough to send 'Ain't It Different' all the way to the top, although it is cool to see it potentially reach a new peak.

I absolutely adore seeing 'Looking For Me' now inside the Top 3 & 'Tick Tock' finally enter the Top 10 though! :D

Hopefully goes to No.1 soon at some point. Maybe it could be No.1 on the next charts which would be unexpected but it has to go past "Ain't It Different" and "Mood". I don't see "Mood" staying at No.1 because the sales would have been somewhat declined already I guess.

1500 chart "sales" units ahead ain't much when Headie One had the album out... but I guess on next mid-week info we will be certain the direction both songs are going (I believe "Mood" will increase the gap).

I am trying to stay positive that's because I am not a fan of "Mood" and I don't want to think about it staying at No.1 next week if it does.

'Ain't It Different' was 1,500 combined sales behind yesterday, but I think that might increase during the week.
