Elton John & Dua Lipa are set to dethrone Ed Sheeran from Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart First Look. Elton and Dua’s Cold Heart (1) is currently outpacing Shivers (2), which has now spent four weeks at the top of the chart.

Cold Heart, a re-working of Elton's original songs Sacrifice and Rocket Man re-mixed by DJ duo Pnau is Elton’s highest-charting single as a lead artist since his re-release of Are You Ready For Love hit Number 1 in 2003. The track trails his new album The Lockdown Sessions, which includes collaborations with Nicki Minaj, Lil Nas X, Miley Cyrus, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks, and more.  

Jesy Nelson eyes this week’s highest new entry with her debut solo single Boyz feat. Nicki Minaj. Her first release since leaving Little Mix last year, Jesy is currently on track to debut at Number 3 - it would be her first UK Top 10 single as a solo artist and Minaj's 13th.

Outside the Top 10, Coldplay and BTS’ new collaboration My Universe is set to rebound back to Number 11, inching closer to an entry to the Top 10 as the release of Coldplay’s ninth album Music of the Spheres approaches on Friday.

Becky Hill & Topic’s My Heart Goes (La Di Da) continues its trajectory up the chart, currently up one spot and its highest peak so far of Number 14.

Finally, Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy’s Better Days is looking to gain a new peak on the Official Singles Chart, jumping six places from Number 26 to Number 20.

The Official Singles Chart Top 100 is revealed on OfficialCharts.com every Friday at 5.45pm. Follow the Top 40 countdown live on BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart show with Scott Mills.

I’m happy that dermot Kennedy is in top 20, although it’s overplayed on the radio here in Ireland :P

I really love "Cold Heart" and it would be great to see the song at #1, but "Shivers" has to stay at #1 for at least 2 more weeks

Do you think it will do well on the US Billboard Hot 100?

0 chance. Little Mix were never that successful in the US, Jesy Nelson won't be an exception to that.

Just because none of their singles peaked in the US Top 40 doesn't mean they weren't successful stateside. In fact, most of their albums have fared better there than their singles.

Yeah, I could see it being mostly fuelled by downloads, so I think it'll end up in the lower Top 10 for Friday's chart! :P

Still not a bad debut at all though, haha.

I was meant to see him at Boardmasters in 2019, but it got cancelled literally at the last minute due to bad weather. :/

oh no! you should try to get tickets again, he's amazing live! Just dont stress about getting there early cos the second support act went off at 8:30 and he didnt come on till 9:15. And then at the end he went off and we waited 20 minutes until he came on for the oncour haha! hes one to take his time :P

Hey, I don't mind him taking his time! It's probably worth it, haha. :)

I know it’s only a First Look & there’s plenty of time for things to change, but man, I’d be so happy if ‘Cold Heart’ is #1 on the final chart! 😍

It won't happen with the return of the one act who can outstream him....ADELE.

Either way Bryan Adams will still hold a record. Doesn't really count if you have to do it with 2 records instead of one. Especially as it's not 2 different sides of the same disc.
