In reaction to the UK’s second place finish at Eurovision last night, Sam Ryder’s SPACE MAN is aiming to shoot straight into the Top 10 at Number 8. It would be the first UK Eurovision entry to crack the Top 10 since Scooch with Flying the Flag (For You) in 2007.
Cat Burns and her breakthrough hit Go could mount a challenge to Harry Styles claiming Number 1 for a seventh week. Less than 2,000 chart sales separate Go and As It Was at the midweek mark.
