Oasis take on Kendrick and Chappell for Number 1 with Whatever 30th anniversary re-issue

Oasis are the surprise act to take the lead in this week’s race for Number 1. A vinyl re-issue to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Whatever is currently pacing to re-enter the chart at Number 1. Whatever, a non-album single, was originally released December 18 1994, and peaked at Number 3.

However, Liam and Noel will still need to contend with last week’s chart-topper Kendrick Lamar, Not Like Us is only 500 chart units away from Number 1 (2), while Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club is also in with a shot (3).

Tate McRae could get a big boost following the release of So Close to What; sports car could hit a new peak inside the Top 10 (6), while Revolving Door could secure a Top 20 debut (17).

Sam Fender’s People Watching is expected to re-enter the Top 10 following the release of the Geordie hero’s third album (7), while Arm’s Length could also rise (13) and Little Bit Closer could make its chart debut (16).

Selena Gomez’s new single with fiancée Benny Blanco and ascendant pop princess Gracie Abrams, Call Me When You Break Up, is predicted to debut at Number 19 in the UK. It would be Selena’s first Top 20 single in 6 years.

Aitch & Bou’s brand new collab Raving In The Studio is on the verge of a ricochet to a brand new peak; it’s up a massive 23 places midweek (20).
