US rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion look set to snag the UK’s highest new entry of the week, while it's a non-mover for Joel Corry and MNEK as summer smash Head & Heart cruises towards a fourth week at Number 1.
Cardi B’s website crashed earlier this week as the announcement landed of new collaboration WAP with Megan Thee Stallion. Released on Friday, limited edition copies of the single were also made available to pre-order on coloured vinyl including pink and gold editions, picture disc and cassette. 48 hours into the chart week and it looks like the pair will secure the week's highest new entry (6) - and if they maintain their momentum, WAP will become Cardi B’s fifth UK Top 10 hit, and Megan Thee Stallion’s second.
A dance cover of Toploader’s Dancing In The Moonlight by Swedish duo Jubel continues its eight-week ascent up the Official Chart, looking likely to break into the Top 10 for the first time on Friday, up four places midweek to Number 8.
Further down, Ava Max is on track for the highest climber of the week and a potential new peak position too for Kings and Queens, up 12 places to Number 12. Plus a new Top 20 entry is on the cards for late rapper Juice WRLD & The Weeknd with Smile (18).
The Official Chart First Look is based on preliminary sales and streaming data from the first 48 hours of this week’s chart race, the fuller picture will emerge as more data arrives throughout the week.
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 com from 5.45pm.

guys... the abbreviation for “wap” is VERY nsfw... can’t say it on here unfortunately because disqus could remove it. -_-
Miserable Mozz
Is it only me getting annoyed by the constant references to "Toploader's Dancing In The Moonlight"? It's a King Harvest song, Toploader only covered it.
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
i know king harvest did the original, just haven’t heard it yet. i have plans to check out the original!
Miserable Mozz
It's very 1971. Think Three Dog Night or CCR. Not bad, but not amazing either lol
Cameron
Dancing In Ths Moonlight is making a steady rise
⁉️
Yeah, I hope it can reach at least Top 5, but it's definitely deserving of a Number 1.
R
Riley
Blimey My future completely out of the top 20!
Dinner guest on acr is annoying because I loved that song :(((
Head & Heart ain’t going anywhere anytime soon!
Dancing in the moonlight top 10 will be good and Go crazy climbing I ain’t against!
Where did the Kings & Queens climb come from? And Blinding lights rebounding is always a good thing aswell as Flowers climbing back up avoiding acr AGAIN!
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
Yeah, My Future our the top 10 really , I’ve had that on repeat lately! :(
Yeah, Dinner Guest getting ACR’d is really disappointing, and I think there’s only Lighter as Head & Heart’s competition. I’d love to see Dancing In The Moonlight in the top 10! :)
Kings & Queens went up due to a new remix with Lauv & Saweetie, which I’m yet to hear (same with WAP and Smile).
R
Riley
Yes I remember that remix! And it is annoying acr is just stupid. Dancing in the moonlight top 10 I’m more than happy with!
⁉️
Yeah, although expected, I really wish my future did better.
Dinner Guest going on ACR is also not good, just as I was really starting to get into it.
Head & Heart being Number 1 isn't really annoying yet, but I agree with your points on songs coming to the Top 10.
I think Kings & Queens climbed because of the remix, really should've released it early if she wanted it to do anything.
Agree on the two songs doing well even with ACR, especially Flowers. They're doing more than most ACR'd songs do.
R
Riley
Always happens you get into a song and it goes on acr :(
Go crazy I really am rating hoping it can stay for abit and yea buzzing about dancing in the moonlight hopefully getting there!
And it’s a random climb and time to release the remix but it’s probs gonna fall abit.
And obviously even on acr blinding lights defo the biggest song of the year still going but flowers avoiding acr for so long and still hanging around is amazing! The heat has helped everyone stream it because last Friday it was #27 and now it’s close to its original peak which it hit what 3 months ago now!
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
Where is My Future? Don’t tell me it’s tanking! :(
Ah well, I absolutely adore Dancing On The Moonlight set to be in the top 10. Hope Lighter gets to number 1. Not fond of Kings & Queens gaining strength all though.
⁉️
Yep, I think it is unfortunately.
Agree with everything else as well, especially Dancing On The Moonlight going to the Top 10.
Piran
I love seeing 'Head & Heart' on course to make it a full month at #1, although I'm hoping that 'Lighter' can get there eventually! :)
I'm not surprised to see 'WAP' debut so high, but I really hope that this is the week that 'Dancing In The Moonlight' finally enters the Top 10.
I'm kind of mixed on the big climb for 'Kings & Queens', but I adore that 'Blinding Lights' also rebounded by a few positions (although both of these are fairly standard for a Sunday update). 'Rain On Me' making a slow resurgence is also awesome!
R
Riley
Any particular reason for the massive kings and queens climb?
Piran
It got a remix with Lauv & Saweetie, which was released last Friday.
R
Riley
Completely forgot about that!
⁉️
Same, I'd rather see Lighter sooner or later, but I don't really care when it happens.
I'm actually surprised at WAP's position, I really thought it would be higher, and I really agree on Dancing On The Moonlight.
Agree on all the climbs, although I'm more disappointed than mixed on Kings & Queens.
Eoin Sioda
Head & Heart is a catchy tune.
Piran
It sure is! Definitely going to be this year's Song Of The Summer. :)
Piran
'WAP' debuting where it did doesn't surprise, but I really think it could be a contender for #1 on the Hot 100 if it's close to the Top 5 on the Official Chart!
I'm still not tired of 'Head & Heart' at #1 for the meantime, especially when it continues to rule my own chart! Yeah, I know you hate 'Kings & Queens' as much as Coolocelot does, haha.
Piran
Yeah, although 'Kings & Queens' does tend to chart higher on the Sunday update than it does in the final chart. It might have already dropped when OCC post the full list in 15 minutes! :P

My Thoughts:
Yes! Head & Heart is heading for a month at no 1, and Lighter sticking top 3! Breaking Me and Flowers continue to climb... sadly Secrets drops but it may climb and its not ACR! I believe it can go top 5! I say we swap Watermelon Sugar with Secrets and put Flowers were Savage Noise is for perseverance.
Kings & Queens. I hate this song. for a stupid reason. The song is good yes, but the chart positions... one week its at 24 the next 12 and its not like it hasn't already been top 20... at least Flowers would hover around the top 20 positions! And in the BigTop40... one week it's no 9, the next 38 and back to no 9??!!
As for WAP... well, I'm surprised it's debuting so high. It's not bad, but not good. At least, not top 5 material. I think its high because its just been released and it's got 2 female Billboard #1 rappers on it. But I don't think it'll stay no 6.
Okay and then there's no 9 and no 10... I mean, Go Crazy is alright, I hope it doesn't go no 1, but I mean Savage Noise did. Can't wait for ACR of that song. GREECE... I don't get why POPSTAR, which is bad, but better, got like a 20-place drop and GREECE is still top 10! And yet Flowers couldn't make it...
As for the other songs, Dancing In The Moonlight is awesome! It deserves a place in the top 10! Another good remake is ily but that failed the top 20... And Heaven On My Mind! Like most Sigala songs, I love them and then get bored with them. Its a shame - I never use to have this with him. Easy Love is my favourite song of all time and I love Sweet Lovin', Say You Do and Give Me Your Love (and the underrated Feels Like Home) but most of his singles with the famous pop stars are awesome and then become... boring for me. Dunno why. I mean, I still love This Is Real! :/
big drop for Only One Freestyle. I've nothing against the acts and the song itself (I mean, I haven't actually heard it XD) but I just think we need better songs in the top 10. That being said, I didn't think I'd like Folklore and I did. A lot.
Finally, Smile by Juice and WeekNd. Well the song is good! It may go top 10, but I don't see it going to no 1. However, as I have previously said, I said that about Blinding Lights, ROCKSTAR and Savage Noise...
Piran
Good review! :)
Yeah, I agree that the chart run for 'Kings & Queens' has been incredibly weird, especially on the Big Top 40.
Alfred Lock
Haven't heard the no.1 like nearly all this year as Radio 2 certainly does not do Rap and I'm past bothering until Adele finally makes her return and still hold her own against the Rap/Grime/Dance machine (ditto Rihanna's tiresome delay)because right now Rock/Indie are dead in the charts.
new acc - disqus.com/afrog69
the BigTop40 does downloads right? well some people stream & download the now cds, so if you check the website instead of 'Don't Need Love' we have the now 106 version :/ this happened with 'Say So' too.
Piran
Yeah, they do! Up until Rich Clark left about five years ago, downloads took up the entirety of the Top 10 for that chart.
The chances are that more sales for songs in 2020 are because of the NOW! CD's more than anything else! :P
Piran
I don't really listen to much Radio 2 to be honest! They play more rock/indie music, right?
Alfred Lock
Yes they do and that's why I stick with it.
Piran
I really hope more rock/indie is back in the Top 40 soon! :)
