There is no stopping Drake - he's charging towards an Official Singles and Albums Chart double.
In recent weeks, Drizzy has broken streaming records and snapped up his first Number 1 single as a lead artist with One Dance, and now it looks like he will top both the Official Singles and Albums Charts.
One Dance featuring Wizkid and Kyla is leading the singles tally at the midweek stage, with 64,000 combined chart sales so far. Drake's fourth studio collection Views is also leading on the albums front, and is currently outselling Beyoncé's Lemonade by two copies to one.
If Drake can hold onto pole positions on both charts, he'll be the first to bag a chart double since Sam Smith in March 2015 with Lay Me Down and In The Lonely Hour.
A major new entry from Calvin Harris and Rihanna sits at Number 2 - This Is What You Came For will be Rihanna's 28th Top 10 single and Calvin's 20th. Look at both of their chart histories by clicking their names.
Beyoncé's Lemonade continues to quench the UK's thirst too - Yoncé has 7 tracks in the Top 40, one more than last week's chart. Daddy Lessons is the new inclusion, with her other six songs all heading for new peaks within the Top 40. Queen Bey's tracks within the top flight are Hold Up (5), Formation (16), Sorry (19), 6 Inch (25), Don't Hurt Yourself (26), Daddy Lessons (31) and Freedom (32).
Meanwhile DJ Snake, Little Mix and Disturbed all continue their ascents up the Official Singles Chart with Middle, Hair and Sound of Silence. They climb to 11, 12 and 17 respectively.
Over on the Official Albums Chart, with the exception of Drake, three other newbies are on course to enter the Top 10. Billy Ocean's Here You Are - The Best Of is at 4, Travis' Everything At Once is at 5 and Tremonti's Dust is at 10.

WTF is that Disturbed song climbing? They're TERRIBLE!
I Am A Stegosaurus
Ignoring the fact Hair is going up.

How different is UK Charts to US Charts?
Anyone's help?
I Am A Stegosaurus
US charts is more Top 100 based, while UK is Top 40 based in terms of singles. For albums, UK is 100, Billboard is 200. Also, the US charts are overloaded with Selena Gomez and idiots like that. That's pretty much it.

Yessss, Slayoncé! Keep roaring the British charts! It's remarkable, that all of her songs have poor streaming and airplay but she managed it to get 7 songs in the Top 40! Congratulations for the big success! Drake should stay with "One Dance" on the top spot! No other new song should go to no 1!
I Am A Stegosaurus
As soon as I read 'Slayonce', I cringed so hard.
Piran
It will be interesting to see if Drake can lead both the singles and album charts this Friday! :)
'Views' should almost certainly debut at #1 on the albums chart but I think Calvin Harris & Rihanna's 'This Is What You Came For' may overtake before the tracking week ends and dethrone 'One Dance' by Drake.
Lots of Beyoncé songs still in the Top 40 this week. Congratulations to her for the success of 'Lemonade' and all the songs from it.
Good to see three songs making big climbs this week too as all of them are good. ;)

it's going to be close. one dance is out-streaming tiwycf by about 2 to 1 on most major streaming sites, but is being out-sold by about 1.5 to 1 (take into account the 2 versions of one dance that are charting)
All The Way 80s
what, no link to the chart update?
Piran
Probably because it usually happens on a Monday and that was a bank holiday. That's the most likely reason OCC never did a full Top 100 update.

Say what you want about Rihanna, but she gets more hits that any other artists (probably similar to Mariah Carey throughout the 90s). I find her albums quite poor in quality (bar Anti, Loud and Good Girl Gone Bad)., but the girl knows how to pick singles. Beyonce's single sales come nowhere near RIhanna's. Well done her.
(PS: I love Beyonce. She is the queen of everything, obviously. This isn't 'shade').

"She is the Queen of everything"... Saying something doesn't make it true. They called Elvis "The King" because he was the juggernaut of the music industry for 30+ years... No one came close to his record sales as a solo artist. Rihanna's the most certified female solo artist in both the US and UK now, maybe give credit where credit's due. Beyonce hasn't distinguished herself in any way as a solo artist, someone's done something better than her in every area that matters. She's also been the better part of irrelevant since 2008 in mainstream music.

RIHANNA IS SLAAAAYING THIS YEAR! I'm sure that if This Is What You Came For was released with a video the same time- it'd debut at #1 in the UK. If it goes to #2 that'd be fine as well- Rihanna is a force on charts across the World this year and I have no doubt that when all is said and done ANTI will continue to sell well for a long time as she is on tour and the album is excellent. She should release a Greatest Hits double album in time for the holidays and really shake things up.

Did 'Anti' even make the top 5?
S
Sim
she made 7 due to the weird release timing. she stopped herself for a high peak here with the release lol

Ronnie, I hope you earn money from the record company for your weekly praise on Rihanna and Whitney and the other females!
