After being dethroned by Lewis Capaldi’s Wish You The Best last week, Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding are a plotting a return to Number 1 with Miracle on Friday.

This would be third non-consecutive week at Number 1 for the trance banger, which helped Ellie become one of the British female solo artists with the most Number 1 singles in UK chart history.

Their closest competition comes, once again, in the form of Chicago-born singer-songwriter David Kushner and his viral hit Daylight, which could rise one to a new peak this week (2).

After weeks of upward momentum, Switch Disco and Ella Henderson’s React charges up for a potential break into the Top 10 (8).

Social media star HStikkytokky and General G are in front to grab this week’s highest new entry with Twust (11).

Following not far behind are The Weeknd and Future with Double Fantasy, the first song lifted from The Weeknd’s upcoming HBO drama The Idol (12), and Nines’ possible return to the chart with Tony Soprano 2 (13).

As I would like to see 'Miracle' at number 1, I don't actually see it going to Friday. HSTikkyTokky, General G and David Kushner are going for them.

Plus also it was number 1 on iTunes so I see it in the Top ten next week, possible top five. Mayber number 1?

Hmm, it could climb into the Top 10, but definitely won't be #1. 🤔

yeah no the song’s absolute pish. just another song for the chavs to listen to in their caravan sites from their £5 speaker while they drink their aldi beer. it’s people like them that give this, bru-c and bbcc hits.

ah well, double fantasy is amazing and of course nines is always welcome into the charts, thats some real uk rap there and i hope it can hold on

Yeah, I knew you’d despise ‘Twust’! 😭

Not heard ‘Tony Soprano 2’ yet, but will definitely let you know what I think of it when I do. :)
