Doja Cat attempts to leapfrog Olivia Rodrigo for first UK Number 1 with Paint The Town Red
Doja Cat is predicted to leapfrog Olivia Rodrigo to claim the UK’s Number 1 single with Paint The Town Red. It would become her first chart-topper.
Paint The Town Red reached a brand new peak of Number 2 last week. The track is the second single taken from Doja's forthcoming new LP Scarlet, which sees her pivot away from a pop aesthetic to hard-edged rap.
The American multi-hyphenate has claimed a total of four Top 10 singles, also including Say So (2), Kiss Me More with SZA (3) and You Right with The Weeknd (9).
Calvin Harris & Sam Smith’s Desire could climb into the Top 5 for the first time (4), while Fred again..’s adore u is looking to become the 2023 Mercury Prize-shortlisted DJ and producer’s first Top 10 single as a solo artist.
Kylie Minogue's Tension is predicted to debut at Number 14 on Friday; potentially the week’s highest new entry. It would become the pop princess’s 53rd Top 40 entry to date.
Tension, of course, follows on from the truly amazing success of Kylie's Padam Padam earlier this year, and it's chart debut this week could see Kyl-eh-eh-eh net two Top 20 hits in 2023, proof she is more relevant than ever. Read more about Padam Padam's chart impact here.
Finally, Nicki Minaj’s Last Time I Saw You could debut at Number 20, possibly securing Nicki a 44th UK Top 40 single.

Second time lucky for Doja? This may be her final chance with Olivia's album out next week.
