Jess Glynne, Clean Bandit and Anne-Marie battle it out for Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart
Jess Glynne, Clean Bandit and Anne-Marie are locked in an incredible close race for Number 1 on this week’s Official Singles Chart.
As things stand on today’s Official Chart Update, Jess Glynne’s latest single I’ll Be There is leading the way and on course to become her seventh Number 1. If it holds, Jess will extend her record for the most chart-toppers by a British female artist.
However, Jess has strong competition from Clean Bandit - their latest track Solo ft. Demi Lovato is less than 1,000 combined sales and streams behind. Anne-Marie is also in with a shot at chart glory this week; 2002 is less than 300 combined sales behind Solo.
New entries and high climbers
George Ezra’s Shotgun is set to climb again for a fifth consecutive week, so far up from 8 to Number 4, and Cardi B’s I Like It ft. Bad Bunny & J Balvin lifts from 13 to Number 9, potentially earning the rapper her first UK Top 10 as a headliner.
Liam Payne and J Balvin’s Familiar is on the cusp of the Top 10, up seven spots to 11, Years & Years’ If You’re Over Me leaps seven places to 12, and Selena Gomez’s Back To You from the 13 Reasons Why soundtrack hops from 23 to 13.
A$AP Rocky’s Praise The Lord (Da Shine) ft. Skepta zooms 19 places to Number 20, potentially his highest-charting single yet, M-22’s First Time ft. Medina climbs ten places to 21, and 5 Seconds Of Summer are on the climb with their latest track Youngblood, so far up 11 places to Number 26.
Further down, BRITs Critics’ Choice winner Jorja Smith is set for this week’s highest new entry with Blue Lights (38), and Jonas Blue could be scoring his fifth Top 40 single this week; Rise ft. Jack & Jack is currently up seven spots to 40.

A lot happening this week by the looks of things & a lot of good things for that matter! :)
I think 'One Kiss' could've been in with a chance at a ninth week at the top without the new streaming rules, but anyway, I'm very happy to see Jess Glynne on course for yet another #1 single, but it's also amazing to see 'Solo' continuing it's momentum too! It's about time Demi Lovato had a #1 given how many times she's reached the Top 10.
I also love George Ezra having two songs inside the Top 40 & all of the big gainers are awesome!

Yes very happy with this piran, be good for jess to get number 1 this week as looks like if the momentum continues then clean bandit and demi should claim it next week. Lots of good songs climbing which is great. Not into 1 direction or liam Payne but the familiar song has well and truly stuck in my head I must confess.

Haha, 'Familiar' is certainly catchy, so hopefully it'll hit the Top 10 as we go into summer! :)
I think 'I'll Be There' has the edge on sales & radio, but 'Solo' is still above it on streaming.
Some of the songs near the top of my personal chart are among some of the greatest gainers in the Official Chart Update Top 40, so I'm very pleased too!
