Kate Bush running towards second week at Number 1 - can LF SYSTEM or Drake catch up?

After a record-breaking ascent, Kate Bush is on track for a second week at Number 1 - but can high-flyers LF SYSTEM or new entry Drake stop her?

Kate Bush is on track for a second week at Number 1 in the UK. Running Up That Hill broke several Official Charts records when it became Kate’s first UK Number 1 single in 44 years last Friday – and it looks like it’s not going anywhere.

Fast ascending track Afraid To Feel by LF SYSTEM could jump to a new peak of Number 3. Can anything stop it going further?

Following on from the surprise release of new album Honestly, Nevermind Drake is eyeing three new entries on Friday, all within the Top 10; Falling Back (4), Texts Go Green (6) and Jimmy Cooks with 21 Savage (7).

George Ezra recently claimed his third consecutive UK Number 1 album and Gold Rush Kid’s big single Green Green Grass could reach a new peak of Number 5 as a result.

Japanese singer Joji’s big breakout single Glimpse Of Us is set to rocket up into the Top 20 for the first this week – currently at Number 19.

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.

It should be 3 weeks at number 1, do you have any idea why EMI didnt request a reset a week earlier?

i'm not sure... maybe they did and it took longer for the reset to be granted. because she was at #2 2 weeks ago and then in the midweek update she was at #1 so the reset was granted over the weekend so maybe it took some time to grant it? i'm not sure though

'Glimpse Of Us' will need to grow on me, but cool to see Joji getting a potential Top 20 hit nonetheless. :)

Always a flurry of new entries or something stopping CWLCD, hopefully the Drake tracks will rapidly drop out like the kendrick ones did and nothing else will come along to prevent it hitting top 10 before acr

'Afraid To Feel' still climbing above all the Drake debuts? :O

I'll be very shocked if it doesn't go to #1 at this rate!
