SINGLES

Quote:

They’ve been riding high atop the Official Singles Chart for three weeks now; but could Lukas Graham’s reign at Number 1 be brought to an end this week?

The Danish band’s global smash 7 Years is currently leading this week’s Official Chart Update, but Rihanna’s Work is just 8,000 combined sales behind today, boosted by her performance at last week’s BRIT Awards. Can she keep up the momentum and go all the way by Friday?

Another act also enjoying a post-BRITs uplift are Coldplay; their Beyonce collaboration Hymn For The Weekend is up another seven places to Number 3.

Rounding off today’s Update Top 5 are Jonas Blue & Dakota’s Fast Car (4) and Mike Posner’s I Took A Pill In Ibiza, which looks set to enter this week’s Top 10 after jumping six places to Number 5.

Adele’s When We Were Young continues its ascent up the Top 40, up five places today to Number 8, and producer/DJ Riton zooms 69 places to Number 9 with his Kah-Lo collaboration Rinse & Repeat.

Tinie Tempah makes a strong start with his brand new track Girls Like Me ft. Zara Larsson at Number 15, Fifth Harmony are on course for a third Top 40 hit with Work From Home (23) and The Sound by The 1975 rebounds from 39 to 24 following the release of their new album.

Further down the chart, Zayn’s new single It’s You starts at 32, and Jess Glynne’s latest track Ain’t Got Far To Go looks set to enter the Top 40, currently at 37.

ALBUMS

Quote:

Manchester four-piece The 1975 look set to claim the top spot on this week’s Official Albums Chart with their latest collection, I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It.

The Matthew Healy-fronted band is currently outselling the rest of the Top 3 combined, putting it in a strong position to keep the top spot until Friday’s Official Chart reveal. If they secure it, it’ll be their second Number 1 album, following self-titled debut in 2013.

Meanwhile, last week’s Number 1 Adele slips to 2 with 25, and David Bowie’s Best of Bowie collection sits at 3.

Rounding out this week’s Top 5 are Justin Bieber’s Purpose (4) and former chart toppers Coldplay, whose album A Head Full of Dreams holds at 5.

Just outside of the Top 10 are Macklemore & Ryan Lewis with This Unruly Mess I’ve Made (11), and Birmingham rockers Magnum land at 14 with Sacred Blood Divine Lies.

NumbFentyStan

OMG so close

trainsskyscrapers

Hymn For The Weekend! Wow!

One Nation

Could streams possibly make up the difference?

Shelter

Hope Adele can stay top 10.

Mark Rih

OMG she will miss it just for a few copies

UnusualBoy

I don't think Work will make it, the gap in iTunes is big again but she may do it next week if it holds

WWWY please go top 10

Eternium

Zayn going from a #1 to a #32

Hope 7 Years and Work From Home keep rising. Both are such great songs

!! It would be such a shame.

The 1975 are killing it, as expected. Will Macklemore even make top15?

Hymn

Work from Home will climb. It's #13 on UK iTunes rn and steadily stabilizing and increasing. Not a bad debut. Slay, sisters.

ForeverNow90

Rih won't get that #1 this week. Good fight though, Queen

Green

I hope Work finally dethrones that horrible song from the top.

liberalmusiclover

So close. Queen needs to do a TV appearance over there.

lostinparadise

Rih, so close.

I don't see it happening now, tho.

Rafael

The heavenly bop "Hymn" deserves to top the chart eventually...

Revel

So close. Come on WORK!

WWWY is going to peak at #11

Starkboy

7 Years is not slowing down at all. Ugh.

Let's hope!

It won't happen, "Ibiza" is already ahead.

It really deserves the #1.
