Ellie Goulding looks set to score her first ever Number 1 single this weekend with new track, Burn.

Ellie Goulding could be on course for her first ever Number 1 single this weekend, the OfficialCharts.com can reveal.

Should Ellie maintain her current lead, Burn will be her highest charting single to date; her cover of Elton John’s Your Song peaked at Number 2 on the Official Singles Chart in 2010. However, the Lady Gaga pop machine has started up and is thundering its way towards the Top 10 with new single Applause after only a few hours on sale, so anything could feasibly happen between now and Sunday.

Miley Cyrus’ We Can’t Stop falls two places to Number 3 on today’s Official Singles Chart Update, while Cedric Gervais’ remix of Lana Del Rey’s Summertime Sadness holds firm at Number 4. Meanwhile, Arctic Monkeys’ are new in at Number 5 today with Why’d You Call Me When You’re High, which is taken from their hotly anticipated new album, AM (out September 9).

Following hot on the heels of their Number 4 smash Walks Like Rihanna last month, badboy boyband The Wanted look set to return to the Top 10 with new single, We Own The Night (Number 6).

London DJ and producer Ray Foxx is set to make his Official Singles Chart debut with summer dance anthem Boom Boom (Heartbeat) FT Rachel K Collier (13), while The Vaccines are new in at 34 with the lead track from their new EP, Melody Calling.

Drake’s Hold On We’re Going Home FT Majid Jordan has shot up 41 places putting it on track to make its Top 40 debut on today’s Official Singles Chart Update at 15, while OneRepublic’s new single Counting Stars, climbs three places to Number 40.

Lady Gaga’s new single Applause is already at Number 11 after less than a day on sale.

Lady Gaga’s new single, Applause, has almost reached the Top 10, entering today at Number 11 after just seven hours on sale.

The track was rush released yesterday (Tuesday, August 13) after it leaked online over the weekend with Lady Gaga declaring a “pop music emergency” on her official Twitter account.

According to the Official Charts Company’s latest sales data, Applause had sold over 10,500 copies up to midnight last night, having gone on sale late afternoon.

Since making her Official Singles Chart debut in 2009, Lady Gaga has clocked up nine Official Singles Chart Top 10 hits, including four Number 1s. Her debut UK single, Just Dance, has gone on to sell over a million copies.

To find out where Applause makes its Official Singles Chart debut on Sunday, tune into BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart show to hear Jameela Jamil countdown the Top 40 from 4pm, and log on to www.officialcharts.com at 7pm, the only place to view the Top 100 singles and albums in full.

Yet another number 1 single Leona passes on. Like what the **** at this point?

Can we even consider Leona a flop if technically she has like 10 hits that were meant to be hers but she decided to be charitable to your favs and let them have them?

Cmon Ellie! She deserves this so much!

Applause climbs to Number 5 on today’s Official Singles Chart sales flash after less than two days on sale, but still trails Ellie Goulding's Burn.

Lady Gaga’s new single, Applause, has broken into the Top 5 on today’s Official Singles Chart sales flash.

Applause was rush released on Tuesday (August 13) almost a week ahead of its intended released date after it leaked online over the weekend. Lady Gaga declared the leak a “pop music emergency” on her official Twitter account. It debuted at Number 11 on yesterday’s midweek Official Chart Update.

According to the latest Official Charts Company sales data, up to midnight last night, Applause has now sold 21,500 copies since going on sale on Tuesday at 5pm. However, Applause is still 55,000 copies behind midweek leader, Burn by Ellie Goulding, which sold 13,600 in the past 24 hours and looks set to become her first ever Number 1 single this weekend.
