Nathan Evans is riding the waves towards a second week at Number 1 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart with Wellerman.

After the viral sea shanty claimed its biggest week of sales to date last week, Wellerman leads today’s Official Chart: First Look, and was the most downloaded and streamed song in the UK this past weekend.

The Official Chart: First Look, which airs on BBC Radio 1 every Sunday between 6pm – 7pm, offers a first glance of the Top 20 ahead of Friday’s Official Singles Chart Top 100. The chart is based on preliminary sales and early streaming reports.

Dance anthem Friday by Riton x Nightcrawlers ft. Mufasa & Hypeman is bopping towards the top of the chart, up three places midweek to Number 2. Fellow party tune BED by Joel Corry, RAYE & David Guetta is also on an upward trajectory, rising three spots to Number 5.

Justin Bieber is on track to claim this week’s highest new entry with Peaches ft. Daniel Caesar and Giveon, the most streamed new release of the week so far. Taken from his new album JUSTICE, the song could secure Justin his 25th UK Top 10 single, and fellow Canadian collaborators Giveon his second, and Daniel Caesar his first.

Other JUSTICE tracks are also set to impact this week – Hold On, fresh from a Comic Relief performance, lifts 17 slots to Number 14, and As I Am ft. Khalid occupies Number 24.

After claiming his first UK Number 1 album on Friday, Bedford singer-songwriter Tom Grennan’s momentum continues as his single Little Bit of Love could crack the Top 10 for the first time, currently at 10.

The Official Singles Chart is revealed here 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.

I'm honestly not a big fan of UK house music, which apparently is what passes for "EDM" in the UK. It's just not my cup of tea.

Looking forward to Friday!! RITON, JOEL CORRY, TOM GRENNAN, AVA MAX and ELLA HENDERSON climbing the single chart and all reaching a new peak (maybe)...So happy!!

I doubt that 'Peaches' and 'Hold On' will be at #7 and #14. I think 'Peaches' will debut lower and I think 'Hold On' will peak lower as well. I think JB has had a good 13 years of success and I think the success has already declined so there is no hope for these songs. This is just my opinion.

Patience really should have moved up or atlet and stayed third, for it to go down by 8 was extremely unfair,

Is anyone even listening to Wellerman, it's not even in the top 10 of any streaming platforms.

Plus, we all know who should be #1.

It’s already on the path to ACR, so I doubt that.

Tom Grennan could finally be about to get his first ever Top 10 single! :D

Good for him. :)

It’s kind of growing on me, although I doubt I’ll ever like Let’s Go Home Together.

'Peaches' debuted lower than I would've expected! :O

Bieber's popularity has declined for some reason. Even last year, songs like Intentions you'd be expecting to get top 4 but didn't.

I think that it will debut at the top 10 but I think the week after it will probably drop big.
Also, I think that the week after 'Hold On' goes on the Top 20, I think it would probably drop as well.

He needs to go back to the music that he was making during the 'Purpose' era then! ;)

I honestly thought 'Friday' was going to be #1 tonight, but I certainly have no complaints with 'Wellerman' holding on. :)

Huh, I thought Peaches would be a lot higher, kinda disappointing since it’s better than everything else at the top.

Especially Friday, I really hope that doesn’t get to the top.
