Lil Nas X leads the new entries on tonight's Official Chart First Look with That’s What I Want (10) from his new album Montero.

That's What I Want is the highest new entry of the week so far and one of three Lil Nas X tracks heading for the UK Official Chart Top 40. The US singer and rapper’s collaboration with Jack Harlow, Industry Baby, climbs five places midweek to Number 4, while further down Scoop ft. Doja Cat starts out at Number 34.

Ed Sheeran looks set for a second week at Number 1 with his latest single Shivers, while Elton John and Dua Lipa’s mash-up collaboration Cold Heart could hit a new peak on Friday, climbing two rungs midweek to Number 2.

Also heading for a new best this week is Joel Corry x Jax Jones ft. Charli XCX and Saweetie, their dance floor anthem Out Out could break the Top 5 for the first time, up two places midweek to Number 5.

Highest climber of the week so far comes courtesy of Nigerian artist CKay, Love Nwantiti (Ah Ah Ah) sails seven places to Number 16 over the weekend. If the track maintains momentum, it will land rising Afrobeats star CKay his first ever UK Top 20 single after Love Nwantiti made its Top 40 debut just last week.

Elsewhere, big climbs ahead for Anne-Marie & Little Mix, Kiss My (Uh Oh) is up six places midweek to Number 12, while Ed Sheeran’s Visiting Hours also ascends five slots to Number 14 after 48 hours.

Ed having another week on No.1 makes me a bit annoyed. Like why haven't you declined yet. I will be relieved once his career is in decline.

So disappointed that 'Wildest Dreams [Taylor's Version]' isn't here at all though, especially when it was selling so well over the weekend! :(

That's actually not been confirmed yet! I think 'Red' is going to be the next "Taylor's Version" album that she releases, since 'Wildest Dreams [Taylor's Version]' is more for the 'Spirit Untamed' movie. :)

Cool seeing two songs from Lil Nas X in the Top 10, especially when 'Industry Baby' & 'That's What I Want' are among the best tracks from his new album. :)

It's still very early, but since you guys are 7th, you could be in with a chance at the play-offs this season if you're able to keep up like you are now! :O

That would be great but I think it's chances of being No.1 really depends on what happens next week and weeks after. I really don't want to even think about Ed Sheeran.
