US rappers Lil Tjay and 6LACK are set to score their big breakthroughs this week with new collaboration Calling My Phone, which takes an early lead at Number 1 on the Official Chart First Look.

The track could end Olivia Rodrigo’s five-week reign at the top with Drivers License this Friday, should it maintain its current momentum.

Bronx rapper Lil Tjay landed his first UK Top 40 hit last year as a guest feature on Pop Smoke’s Top 5 smash Mood Swings, while for Atlanta-born singer 6LACK, Calling My Phone would mark his first Top 40 single.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s re-recorded version of Love Story, now titled Love Story (Taylor’s Version), is new at Number 4. The original peaked at Number 2 in 2008 and marked her first UK chart entry.

Party banger Friday by Riton & Nightcrawlers ft. Mufasa & Hypeman continues to climb, currently up another eight places to Number 8, potentially earning the British DJ/producer his first UK Top 10 single.

Finally, Dua Lipa’s new single We’re Good, taken from her newly released Future Nostalgia (The Moonlight Edition) album, starts at Number 20.  

The Official Singles Chart Top 100 is revealed on OfficialCharts.com every Friday at 5.45pm. Listen to the Top 40 countdown live on BBC Radio 1's Official Chart show with Scott Mills every Friday from 4pm.

'Calling My Phone' just sounds terrible. Lil Tjay is literally slurring his words throughout the song, he sounds about as emotional as a cardboard box, and the generic trap beat is just stale and soulless. Why this song is suddenly in contention for #1, I'll never know.

Exactly. It’s just airhead teens that’ll mostly stream it and dance to it (don’t know how you even can dance to that) on like TikTok. That’s the kind of regurgitated rubbish that becomes popular on there. It all sounds exactly the same.

I know man, it’s so boringly awful, two idiots mumbling to a generic computerised backbeat is not music

What? I listened to this when it first came out and wasn’t expecting a hit, but I’m glad it is.

Definitely an 8/10 at least, glad to see both artists here succeeding.

If there's one we can take away from this week. It certainly reinforces the factor of how powerful streaming has come in the last 6-7 years. A song that is doing pretty meh on Sales like iTunes (at time of writing it's at 56) but has got some huge boosts from Streaming. Certainly interesting to see how it performs throughout the week so we could have an close battle this week! Personally I like the nice chilled out bop of Calling My Phone, not the best song on here but Wouldn't be upset if it did reach the top spot :)

Hopefully 'Friday' will actually end up in the final Top 10 this time! Nice to see 'Your Love [9pm]' still moving up with it. :)

So I make that 6 EDM songs in the top 20, with 4 in the top 10. Great week incoming to say the least!

Same! I'm glad that EDM is having another strong week anyway. :)

I counted six EDM songs in the Top 10, since I consider both 'Wellerman' & 'Don't Play' to fit within the genre too! :P

'Love Story' made the Top 5! :D

I've always been a massive Swiftie right from the start (could you tell by the profile picture?), so seeing the re-recorded version set to debut this high really made my weekend, haha.

It’ll probably be streamed a lot today because of Valentines Day.

Wonder if she did that on purpose. 🤔

I'm really surprised at 'Calling My Phone' blowing up this much... for trap standards, I'd even say it's above average, but I never expected this to be a potential #1 out of nowhere! :O

Exactly my point - how has this happened?

It got a massive first day on streaming, but it has very few sales & it's falling fast on Spotify, so it might not be #1 here on Friday after all! :P

It probably won't, but it would be interesting to know how close the top 3 are, because of Olivia Rodrigo can be replaced by Calling My Phone, then Wellerman could do it as well

We'll know the exact numbers tomorrow, but yeah, 'Drivers License' might be more vulnerable than we all thought then! :O

I mean, the song it’s potentially going to be replacing also came out of nowhere.

I hope it does get there though, I’m REALLY sick of Driver’s License.

I wouldn't mind Calling My Phone going to #1 this week if it meant Wellerman could take it next week LOL! I'm not holding out any hope for it making it to the top though. :(

Umm... explain? I knew it was going to be tough for Rodrigo to retain her crown, but being knocked off by a song that came from nowhere?
