WSTRN heading for highest new singles entry, Adele still Number 1

Newcomers WSTRN – who are currently performing on the Official Charts After Party tour in association with New Look – are on course for this week’s highest new entry on the Official Singles Chart with debut hit In2 entering midweek at Number 3.

The West London hip hop trio (pictured below) opened the first ever Official Charts tour at Teesside University on Friday night (6 November).  

On playing In2 live WSTRN told OfficialCharts.com:“It’s been sick hearing people sing our song back at us – that’s been happening more often and every time it’s felt strange!”
