Leading the charge for the Vermont star is “Doors,” which has stormed into the preliminary Top 10 at Number 9. Close behind are “End of August” at Number 17 and “American Cars” at Number 19. If these positions hold through Friday’s final whistle, it will mark one of the strongest UK chart performances of Kahan’s career to date.
The Fight for the Top Spot
At the summit, a high-stakes duel is unfolding for the Number 1 crown. After being toppled last week by Olivia Rodrigo’s comeback hit “drop dead,” Sam Fender and Olivia Dean are fighting to reclaim their throne. Their collaboration, “Rein Me In,” is currently out in front, eyeing a potential ninth non-consecutive week at the top. Rodrigo’s “drop dead” remains a close challenger, currently sitting at Number 2.
Olivia Dean is enjoying a particularly fruitful week; as she embarks on her extensive European tour, her solo track “Man I Need” has climbed into the Top 10 at Number 10, while “Baby Steps” is also making gains further down the chart at Number 29.
Dance Anthems and Rising Climbers
The electronic scene is also showing strong momentum. ANOTR and 54 Ultra are seeing significant growth with “Talk To You” (23), while the hypnotic dance banger “Free Your Mind” from Prospa and Cloonee continues its upward trajectory at Number 24.
Rounding out the early Top 5, Tame Impala’s “Dracula” holds steady at Number 3, followed by the enduring “Coachella effect” boost for Justin Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat” at Number 4. Alex Warren’s “Fever Dream” completes the leading pack, rising to Number 5. Final positions will be confirmed this Friday on the Official Singles Chart.
