Ariana Grande looks set to secure her 7th UK Number 1 this Friday as new single Positions starts way out in front in this week’s Official Singles Chart race.
The UK’s most streamed track of the week so far and one of three new entries on today’s Official Chart First Look, Positions would also become Ariana’s second Number 1 this year, if its current momentum continues, following chart-topping summer smash Rain On Me with Lady Gaga.
Revisit where all of Ariana Grande's singles and albums charted in the UK.
KSI ft. Craig David and Digital Farm Animals’ Really Love follows at Number 2 – the second highest new entry of the week after 48 hours, and the highest-selling song of the week so far.
If the collaboration holds out all the way through to Friday, it would be a personal best on the Official Singles Chart for rapper and YouTube star KSI, as well as his “childhood hero” Craig David’s highest-charting single in 17 years, since 2003’s Rise & Fall. See all of Craig David's hit songs and albums and where they peaked.
Reigning Number 1 Lemonade by Internet Money ft. Don Toliver, Gunna & Nav slides two places to Number 3 midweek.
Not content with just ruling our primetime TV screens right now, pop stars-turned-pop mentors Little Mix could also be heading for their highest-charting single in two years, as new track Sweet Melody taken from their forthcoming studio album Confetti, opens the week at Number 4.
Jesy, Jade, Perrie and Leigh-Anne’s last outing in the Official Singles Chart Top 5 was on 2018’s Woman Like Me with Nicki Minaj which reached Number 2.
Just outside the Top 20 but gaining significant ground, the week’s highest climber so far comes courtesy of James Arthur. A viral TikTok boost sends Train Wreck hurtling 40 places north to Number 29.
The final Official Chart Top 40 will be unveiled on BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart with Scott Mills this Friday from 4pm, with the full Official Singles Chart Top 100 published on OfficialCharts.com from 5.45pm.

I’m totally torn what I want number one because Really love is amazing! I’m pulling for Ariana but I’m fine with either one! Really love is the catchiest song I heard..it reminds me of early Justin Timberlake.

UK MIXERS. IF U CAN'T BUY, STREAM ON SPOTIFY AND YOUTUBE TOO. REQUEST THE SONG ON RADIOS!!! THE GIRLS DESERVE A TOP 4 IN THIS ERA
Alfred Lock
And a rarity that breaks the rap/grime/,dance juggernaut from time to time like Harry Styles' Watermelon did in the Summer. Adele we need you back very soon to really give the charts a mighty kick up the backside.
kppoppo
sweet melody top 5 lets goooooooooooo
Shadowcat222
The brand new entries sound really good to me...I prefer positions than lemonade at number one by far, Little mix are back and its good news...we don't know the final friday chart but we can say that there will be some changes in the top 10 which is quite interesting ^^
Have a nice week everyone😉
Piran
Hmm... 'Positions' went from being meh to decent since I first heard it, so it did grow on me a little, but it's far from Ariana's best lead single & 'Really Love' just deserves that #1 way more.
That being said, along with 'Sweet Melody', it's cool to see three new entries in the Top 5, as it's not often you see that in 2020, if at all! :D
LD Quid20
Yeah it's great seeing three new entries in Top 5, we haven't seen that for a long time!
Piran
I can't even remember the last time it happened! :P
Alfred Lock
There is yet to be a repeat of a whole Top 5 of new entries which last happened just over 22 years ago
JoeNak
Hope "Really love" stays near the top!
