Can Kungs finally oust Drake's One Dance to claim this week’s Number 1 single?
Plus there are new entries and big climbers from Olly Murs, Jonas Blue and MO on this week's Official Chart Update.
Drake and Kungs’ chart battle looks set to extend for another week on the Official Singles Chart as the pair continue a very close fight for Number 1.
Drake’s One Dance continues to lead the way on today’s Official Chart Update, but Kungs vs Cookin’ On 3 Burners’ This Girl is less than 2,000 behind at the mid-week stage. If Drake holds on for another week, it’ll be the rapper’s 14th stint in pole position – edging him even closer to a record-breaking run at Number 1.

They also face a challenge from Chainsmokers, who continue to leap up the chart with Don’t Let Me Down, up four places from last week to Number 3. Drake and Rihanna’s Too Good sits at 4, and Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s This Is What You Came For rounds out the Top 5.
New entries and high climbers
Jonas Blue is on track to secure his second Top 10 on the Official Chart this week with Perfect Strangers, up ten places to Number 6 on today’s Update. His previous single, a cover of Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car, reached Number 2 back in February.

Kungs would be lucky to stay in the Top 3 this week, there's no chance of it being #1
I.B.
This is getting boring now. We need a BRAND NEW top 40!

No mention of Olly Murs' You Don't Know Love? But get this guys: One Dance is actually at number 1 MIDWEEK this time round, so if black magic really does exist, One Dance and This Girl will swap around again from their midweek positions, meaning This Girl may actually hit '1.
