British newcomers Rixton are battling it out with Nicole Scherzinger to claim this week’s Official Number 1 single.
The British four-piece’s debut single, Me And My Broken Heart, currently leads the former Pussycat Dolls star and X Factor judge’s latest track, Your Love (Number 2), by a margin of nearly 12,000 copies at this mid-way stage.
Rixton are comprised of frontman Jake Roche (son of Shane Richie and Coleen Nolan!), Charley Bagnall (guitar), Lewi Morgan (drums) and Danny Wilkin (bass and keyboard), are managed by Scooter Braun, counting Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber among their stable-mates. On audio streams alone, Ariana's Problem (Number 3 overall) is currently leading the way with the most streamed track of the week so far in the UK.
Meanwhile, Your Love (2) is the second single to be lifted from Nicole Scherzinger’s as yet untitled, second solo studio album. It was written and produced by The-Dream (Britney Spears, Rihanna) and Tricky Stewart (Mariah Carey, Beyonce).
Rounding out today’s midweek Top 5 are reigning chart topper will.i.am’s It’s My Birthday FT Cody Wise (4) and Ella Henderson’s Ghost (5), which is set to spend its sixth week in the Top 5.
