Riton x Nightcrawlers take on Nathan Evans for this week’s Official Chart Number 1
Friday by Riton x Nightcrawlers ft. Mufasa and The Hypeman first entered the Official Chart Top 100 some ten weeks ago, but could this week finally see the party anthem make it all the way to the top?
After the first 48 hours of the chart week, the dance track which samples Nightcrawlers’ Push The Feeling On and went viral as a dance craze on TikTok during Covid, currently sits at Number 2 on tonight’s Official Chart First Look, just behind Nathan Evans’ Wellerman.
Reigning chart champ Nathan Evans from Airdrie in Lanarkshire, takes the lead in the race to Number 1 with sea shanty Wellerman, but with less than 2,000 chart sales in it right now, it could still be all change between now and Friday’s final whistle.
Following the success of his recent Number 1 album, Tom Grennan surges forward on the midweek Official Singles Chart, looking set to potentially secure two places in the Top 10. Little Bit Of Love is up six places to Number 7, while collaboration with Ella Henderson, Let’s Go Home Together, climbs 11 places to Number 8.
A steady ascent up the Top 40 over the past seven weeks sees ATB, Topic and A7S on course to break the Top 10 for this first time on Friday with Your Love (9pm), currently up three places to Number 9. Its peak position to date is Number 11.
The highest new entry of the week so far is Lil Nas X’s Montero (Call Me By Your Name) at Number 15. The song caused a stir online this week, taken from his forthcoming debut album of the same name which is due to land this summer, it celebrates embracing sexuality and addresses the homophobia he has experienced.
In response to claims that its bold, unapologetic video packed with biblical symbolism is part of a “system” intended to corrupt American youth, the 21 year-old from Georgia responded on Twitter: “There was no system involved. I made the decision to create the music video. I am an adult. I am not gonna spend my entire career trying to cater to your children. That is your job.”
British singer Mimi Webb trails one place with Good Without (16) – the second highest new entry of the week after two days.
Tune in to The Official Chart with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 1 this Friday from 4pm to see who makes the Top 40's final cut.

Awesome, hope Tom Grennan cam keep those 2 top 10 slots come Friday! Also hope Riton can keep up there too battling for no.1!

Why hasn't they ACR Wellerman this week it been high up the charts for 10 weeks now, (Top 3 all the time) Drivers license they knocked down on the 9-10 weeks even on the 10th has massive streaming data Olivia had, Not sure why they ACR some Quicker then others, some last for a few weeks extra like 13th ?. Radio 1 needs a fresh charts miss those times (like from 1999 -2001) where we had over 10 new entry on the same Friday releases in the charts Top 40, i think any songs that has made top or Been in the Top 10, should only be in the Top 40 up to 5 Months only, to keep new releases a chance on the singles charts.

I agree the charts are very stale. Songs stay around for ages and then ACR does not make sense at all, especially with what you have mentioned above.

I don't see 'Peaches' charting well in the US Billboard Hot 100 at the second week of charting.
IB2017
'Wellerman' will be here to stay at the top until May at least.

Can someone please explain the appeal of 'calling my phone' to me? It just seems really sleepy and boring and not much fun.
Chuffed to see atb having another hit over here after 20 years.
I'm guessing tom grennan is our new sheeran/capaldi/walker/ezra for this year.
GS
Black hole for top 40
S
Sami24601
I'm surprised its made it in to the top 40 now having been out for almost 3 months, nice song though.
GS
i think it got popular after she won best rising star at the BRITS
S
Sami24601
Oh yeah! And well dederved, wish love is a compass had been bigger though

Disappointed but not surprised that ‘You All Over Me’ isn’t here! :(
Piran
Sad to see ‘Patience’ falling faster than ‘Don’t Play’. :/
Piran
Tom Grennan might have two songs in the Top 10 by Friday! :O
