LF SYSTEM challenging Kate Bush for Number 1 with Afraid To Feel

After weeks of extraordinary upward trajectory, the Scottish DJ duo could be on track to secure their first UK chart-topper...they just have Kate Bush standing in their way.

After rocketing up the Official Singles Chart over the last four weeks, LF SYSTEM are currently challenging Kate Bush for Number 1 with viral single Afraid To Feel, at Number 2 on the Official Chart: First Look.

Kate Bush has so far enjoyed two weeks at the summit with Running Up That Hill and is heading for a third – but the Scottish DJ duo are hot on her tail with their Summery dance hit.

Following its surprise drop early last week, Beyoncé’s comeback smash BREAK MY SOUL is looking to crack the Top 10 for the first time, up 17 places to Number 4 after 48 hours.

Massive by Drake continues its pace as the breakout single from his new album Honestly, Nevermind, so far climbing two to a new peak of Number 6.

Japanese singer-songwriter and YouTube star Joji creeps ever closer to his first UK Top 10, as Glimpse Of Us looks set to rise three to Number 11.

Charlie Puth could snag this week’s highest new entry with Left and Right featuring BTS member Jung Kook; the song is tracking to debut at Number 14 and would mark Charlie’s sixth Top 20 single.

Taylor Swift’s new single Carolina is pacing to enter at Number 17 this Friday. If it holds on it will be Taylor’s 41st Top 40 hit in the UK.

Burna Boy’s Last Last has been a long-standing hit on the UK’s Official Afrobeaats Chart, and its now tracking to reach its highest peak on the Singles Chart too - up two on the first look at 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 could definitely so 'Break My Soul' chart higher than 4 (Possibly the top spot which is not likely at the moment).

I'm glad Taylor is in the top 20! I know it won't hold by Friday but I hope Carolina can at least get a top 40 position!

I love that LF SYSTEM are in the top 2! It gives me hope that when RUTH goes on ACR we will get a new #1 instead of Harry going back!

When will RUTH go on ACR? I wouldnt mind seeing Kate continue to break records. I think having a female who wrote, sings, produces, and played on the song is something really nice.

As soon as it has decreased for 3 weeks. it seems to have decreased over the past 2 weeks, so if it decreases this week also, it'll go to acr!

If 'Glimpse Of Us' makes it into the Top 10 on Friday, then I believe Joji would become the first Japanese solo artist to make it into the region in nearly 60 years! 🇯🇵

Beyonce in the Top 5! 😮

I was definitely expecting a climb for 'Break My Soul' now that has a full tracking week behind it, but still not as much as it did.

'Afraid To Feel' in the Top 2? 🥳

I think that'd make it the highest charting EDM hit in more than a year, but I'd love to see it go all the way top real soon. :)

I think Break My Soul could be a challenger for No.1.
