The Official Chart: First Look 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.
Sabrina Carpenter looks set to make it two weeks at the top with latest Short n’ Sweet single Taste this week. The track leads the pack midweek, with former chart-toppers Please Please Please and Espresso expected to hold their Number 2 and 3 positions respectively. But there’s major competition from some headline-grabbing Britpop brothers…
Following the announcement of their Live ’25 reunion shows (and subsequent ticket frenzy), Oasis’s Live Forever sits looks to lift 15 to Number 4. It’d prove a brand-new best for the track, which peaked at Number 10 on its original 1994 release. With a 30th anniversary release of its parent album Definitely Maybe released this week, could Oasis mania see Live Forever surge to the summit?
Two more Oasis classics are on the ascent midweek, too. Don’t Look Back In Anger (7) and Wonderwall (7) are both expected to lift nine and return to the Top 10.
Sonny Fodera, Jazzy and D.O.D’s infectious summer banger Somedays hopes to reach a new peak this week, set to lift one (13).
Finally, Teddy Swims could take break-up bop The Door to new highs, potentially up two to break into the Top 20 for the first time (20).
