Avicii and Rita Ora’s latest collaboration has surged into the Top 3 on today’s Official Singles Chart Update.

Giving Post Malone and Camila Cabello a run for their money this week, Lonely Together, the collaboration between the Swedish DJ and English popstar, has risen two spots to Number 3, with potential to rise even higher come Friday’s Official Chart. Lonely Together has already topped the Official Scottish Singles Sales Chart and the Official Trending Chart in recent weeks.

Not far behind are Craig David’s Heartline (24) and Cola by Camelphat & Elderbrook (25), both of which could net new personal bests on Friday.

Finally, P!nk and Eminem’s highly-anticipated collaboration Revenge is a new entry at Number 26, and Dappy could also score a new entry within the Top 40; Spotlight is at Number 36.

Not a fan of Lonely Together despite being a fan of Avicii but I'd prefer that over Havana and Rockstar. At least Avicii being #1 would shine a ray of hope as there's not been a good #1 since Feels and even then, that only lasted a solitary week and it's easy to forget it topped.

Not a bad chart by the looks of things.
I wish 'Havana' would've took the #1, but I don't mind too much if 'Rockstar' stays there.
What I really like seeing is 'What Lovers Do' expected to hit the Top 10, as well as that big rebound for 'What About Us'. In the latter case, it's good that P!NK should also be able to get her second #1 album on Friday! :)
