BTS are challenging for first UK Official Number 1 single this week with Life Goes On. The South Korean group rank at Number 2 on today’s Official Chart: First Look, based on preliminary downloads and streams across the first two days of the chart tracking week.
Life Goes On is the most downloaded song of the week so far and has also amassed the most video streams over the last 48 hours. The track and its music video debuted on Friday (Nov. 20) to coincide with the release of the band’s new album BE the same day.
J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, RM, Suga and V have already achieved huge success on the UK’s Official Charts in 2020. BE’s lead single Dynamite became their highest-charting single to date, peaking at Number 3. They also conquered the Official Albums Chart for a second time in their careers this year when Map of the Soul: 7 went to Number 1 in February.

Leading overall by a narrow 600 chart sales and on track for a fifth week at Number 1 is Ariana Grande with Positions.
Miley Cyrus is heading for her seventh UK Top 10 single with Prisoner, in at Number 6. The track would also mark the 11th top flight single for featured artist Dua Lipa, who is also at Number 7 with Levitating, which is set for a new peak following her performance on The Graham Norton Show.
In at Number 10 midweek are Shawn Mendes & Justin Bieber with their collaboration Monster, taken from the former’s upcoming album Wonder. The first-time duet from the Canadian superstars could mark Shawn’s 7th UK Top 10 single and Justin’s 22nd.

Finally two Christmas songs are in line for returns to this Friday’s Official Singles Chart Top 20. The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl’s Fairytale of New York shoots from 63 last week to 16 today following social commentary about its lyrics, which the band themselves participated in. Also Mariah Carey is one place behind at 17 with All I Want For Christmas Is You, which re-entered the Top 40 on last Friday’s chart.
The Official Singles Chart is revealed here on OfficialCharts.com every Friday at 5.45pm. Listen to the Top 40 countdown live on BBC Radio 1's Official Chart show with Scott Mills every Friday from 4pm.

JoeNak
Love the transition of Dua Lipa ->Miley/Dua -> Miley Cyrus
Joshua Sombra
Love that 'Diamonds' is rising to No
12, so it could be able to possibly go on the top 10.
POPPY

#MariahForChristmasNumberOne
Shadowcat222
Maybe "Last christmas" is in the top 40 as well^^
Piran
Hopefully! If The Pogues & Mariah are Top 20, then it would really surprise me if Wham! weren’t Top 40. :)
Piran
‘Stop Crying Your Heart’ out deserved so much better. :/
GS
I have a feeling positions will be number 1 for 9 weeks
Piran
I’m really tired of seeing ‘Positions’ at #1 now & I think it’ll stay there on Friday too, but at least we’ve got two Dua songs & two Christmas classics joining it in the Top 20. :)
GS
Therefore i am deserves imo
GS
I hope Billie can claim 🤞🏻
