Meghan Trainor edges closer to Number 1 with Made You Look - can she end Taylor Swift's reign?
Taylor Swift tracks for a sixth consecutive week atop the Official Singles Chart with Anti-Hero, having released a brand-new acoustic version of the track this week. But the deal’s far from sealed, as Meghan Trainor is quickly catching up.
Meghan’s viral hit Made You Look is set to claim a new peak this Friday, climbing to Number 2 at the midweek mark. Could it go all the way and become Meghan’s first Number 1 single since 2015 Charlie Puth collab Marvin Gaye?
Venbee, goddard. and ArrDee are also on the ascent this week, looking to score a new Number 3 peak with drum ‘n’ bass cut messy in heaven. Another future Number 1 contender?
Anne-Marie and Aitch are on the rebound with PSYCHO, set to jump into the Top 5 for the first time in its 11th week on chart (4).
As he releases his new LP This Is What I Mean, Stormzy’s Hide & Seek (6) and the sublime Firebabe (7) look set for new peaks, as Dermot Kennedy’s Kiss Me also tracks for a new best in its 13th week on the chart (14).

With the World Cup under way, Baddiel, Skinner & The Lightning Seeds’ anthemic Three Lions looks to edge closer to the Top 10 this week (12). Could the lads’ festive version of the track – Three Lions (It’s Coming Home For Christmas) – have a shot at this year’s Christmas Number 1? See all the contenders for the coveted Christmas chart-topper here.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, as a host of festive favourites make their ascent midweek. Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You (8) and Wham!’s Last Christmas (10) could both climb into the Top 10 for the first time this year, as Ed Sheeran and Elton John’s Merry Christmas eyes a return to the Top 20 (16).
And finally, RAYE looks set to leap into the Top 20 with her viral hit Escapism featuring 070 Shake (18).
The Official Chart: First Look offers a first glance of the Top 20 ahead of Friday’s Official Singles Chart Top 100. The chart is based on preliminary sales and early streaming reports.

rather taylor swift than the awful meghan! (yup, finally made up my mind, made you look is BAD.)
love to see firebabe rise though, it’s grown on me to the point of being one of my favs on this is what i mean. messy in heaven top 3 and all i want top 10 too!
Piran
Don't worry, Taylor will likely retain! I think Meghan's only climbing to #2 because 'Unholy' is on ACR. 🤔
GS
great to see wham in the top 10
Piran
A Taylor Swift vs Meghan Trainor battle at the top takes me back to 2014! 😂
rayever
Escapism. at 18!!!! Beyond happy right now 🥹
Piran
Surprised Stormzy didn't get three entries in the Top 20. 🤔
He's normally a much bigger streaming presence, but maybe the Christmas takeover or the more gospel direction prevented that!
GS
probably because his new album is so bad
Piran
I thought it was decent, but I definitely preferred his last two! 😩
Piran
Omg 'Escapism' in the Top 20? 😍
So happy for RAYE!
