Urgh, Drake hasn’t released any decent music since 2018.

 

Would rather the Sheeran Monopoly continues than that that “Drake said he’s a lesbian hee hee” song go to #1.

Maybe one of the Drake tracks will be in the top 3 while the other 2 will be in the top 10 on Friday.

ABBA x 2 and Elton John in the top 10 in 2021… who would’ve thought

 

Hopefully the powers that be in the music industry might take this as a cue that the general public are actually quite fond of singers who can sing doing songs with good melodies in them and try and get a new generation of those sort of talents to take over the pop chart landscape and consign the likes of Drake to the dustbin.

I'd be over the moon if it stayed like this Friday and ideally Drake wouldnt be number 1.

This argument is undercut slightly by the fact all the Drake songs are higher than the ABBA songs xx

Are you suggesting ABBA are going to overtake him? I have some bad news for you if so xx

I know you annoying bad habits

I think Bad Habits is better than these 3 Drake tracks.

Drake is on course to dominate this week’s Official Singles Chart with tracks from his new album Certified Lover Boy as he occupies every position in the Top 3 on today (September 5)’s Official Chart: First Look.

 

The Canadian rapper is on track for his seventh Official UK Number 1 single with Girls Want Girls ft. Lil Baby, which would also mark the Atlantan featured artist’s first UK chart topper. The duo previously collaborated on Number 10 hit Wants & Needs in March this year.

 

In addition, Drake looks to take his tally of Top 10 singles to 30 with a further two entries – Champagne Poetry (2) and Fair Trade ft. Travis Scott (3).

 

The Official Chart: First Look airs Sundays on BBC Radio 1 between 6pm – 7pm, offering 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.

 

Number 1 for the past ten weeks, Ed Sheeran’s Bad Habits is heading for a tumble of three places to Number 4.

 

Elton John is heading for his first UK Top 10 single as a lead artist in almost 20 years with Dua Lipa collaboration Cold Heart (Pnau Remix), up 13 places to Number 10. Elton’s last single of headline billing to reach the top flight was the Number 9 hit I Want Love in October 2001.

 

The second wind for Glass Animals’ viral hit Heat Waves is set to continue this week, with the track eyeing up a new peak of Number 12, a rise of six spots.

 

Finally, Little Mix look to score their 31st Official Top 40 single with Love (Sweet Love), currently at 19.

ABBA are heading back to the Official Singles Chart Top 10 for the first time in forty years with their two comeback singles taken from their upcoming new album Voyage.

 

On today (September 5)’s Official Chart: First Look, the legendary Swedish group place at Numbers 6 and 7 with I Still Have Faith In You and Don’t Shut Me Down respectively. The tracks will mark ABBA’s first UK Top 10 singles since One Of Us in December 1981 should their momentum continue.

 

I Still Have Faith In You and Don’t Shut Me Down are both available physically, the former leading on the format thanks to strong CD and vinyl sales.

 

Meanwhile, Don’t Shut Me Down is the most downloaded song in the UK so far this week. In addition, both songs have been streamed over 500,000 times this weekend.

 

The two new singles are taken from Voyage, ABBA’s first new studio album in 39 years since 1981’s The Visitors, to be released on November 5. The 10-track album featured eight new songs and two reworkings - Just a Notion and Bumblebee – that were previously only released as demo versions on the rare ‘ABBA Undeleted’ medley.

 

ABBA will release their first Christmas song Little Things on the collection, which was reported to have accumulated 40,000 UK pre-orders in less than 24 hours of availability.

 

The new era of ABBA will continue with a revolutionary concert in 2022. ABBA Voyage will see digital versions of Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid perform their two new tracks and their greatest hits at the purpose-built ABBA Arena at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. East London. Tickets go on general sale this coming Tuesday.

 

Find out the week's final chart standings on The Official Chart with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 1 this Friday from 4pm. The Official Singles Chart Top 100 is revealed here on OfficialCharts.com every Friday at 5.45pm.

boo they skipped the other ABBA song :/

 

to play the stupid idiotic Laroi/Bieber song! :/ the only people that can like that song are little girls age 7 and those don't listen to R1 :/

 

For goodness sake. Can we please raise his warn level every time he says this, or something?

 

It's seriously bloody offensive. I enjoy the song and I'm hardly a 7-year-old girl.

the only people that can like that song are little girls age 7 and those don't listen to R1 :/

 

I mean even if this was true, you're really making that argument in relation to ABBA? I don't think their fanbase are exactly within the Radio 1 demographic... :lol:

 

(not saying they were right to have skipped it, just that this is a dumb argument)
