6 RAYE - WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!

As we have not heard How It's Done before, I thought that was more deserving of a play than Ordinary again.

5 Taylor Swift - Elizabeth Taylor

The stranglehold has been broken!

I love Elizabeth Taylor.

I love Elizabeth Taylor.

Me too, she was a great actress and a very admirable person.

4 Taylor Swift - Opalite

Wonder if Raye can get back in the top 5!

“Father Figure” I think might replace “Elizabeth Taylor” in the charts pretty soon I think

3 Olivia Dean - Man I Need

I wonder if 'Man I Need' can reclaim pole position as early as next week?

Blood nightmare better not be at 1 start h song start g

Please don't let Golden be at #1 :prays:

2 HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI AMI & KPop Demon Hunters Cast - Golden

1 Taylor Swift - The Fate of Ophelia

I can't see how it would be tbh.

Olivia will overtake it again by Friday as well I'd expect.

I must admit Opalite is much better than the Ophelia track

Official Charts Report

After a record-breaking week where Taylor Swift took home the biggest week 1 for a single in four years, the track in question The Fate of Ophelia is looking to secure a second week at the top in today's Official Chart First Look.

The single amassed over 132,000 chart units in its first seven days and remains the outright frontrunner.

As Taylor scored a home run last week, securing first, second and third positions for singles; Opalite (4) and Elizabeth Taylor (5) could find themselves sitting in the Top 5 again.

But is there a return to the top for an old favourite? Following closely behind is HUNTR/X and their track, Golden (2). Having topped the charts for a total of eight weeks, the popular release was overtaken by Olivia Dean's Man I Need in October. Since then, the track has been looking to surge back to the summit and is aiming to make its move this week.

The newly formed girl group could also see their track How It's Done re-enter the charts (12). Having peaked at Number 29 in July, it may secure its highest position yet.

And the Top 3 could be completed by the song that knocked Golden off its perch. Man I Need (3), currently leapfrogs Opalite as it looks to take the bronze.

The Brit also sees two other tracks aiming to break Top 10 with Nice To Each Other (7) and So Easy (To Fall In Love) (9).

With her Mayhem Ball Tour in full swing, Lady Gaga may find the anthemic The Dead Dance set foot in the Top 20 once more (20).

The highest new entry this week could come from Sienna Spiro with her latest offering, Die On This Hill (24). The English singer-songwriter is on course to secure her maiden charting single.

After a surprise announcement last week, the super duo of JISOO and ZAYN may see their catchy hit EYES CLOSED also break the Top 40 (25).

Chappell Roan and Pink Pony Club see a strong rise, currently up five places so far (30).

After claiming his first Top 40 single last week with Phantom, EsDeeKid and Rico Ace's vibrant song could climb ever higher, currently moving three positions up the charts (33).

Off the back of Amazon Prime's latest Songline episode celebrating the creation of Play, Ed Sheeran sees his single Sapphire from that record potentially shoot back into the Top 40, climbing a strong nine positions (34).

PinkPantheress dropped Fancy Some More? last Friday, a remix of her Mercury Prize nominated record, Fancy That and she could see one of the tracks off the initial release Stateside, chart in the Top 40 for the very first time (38).

And finally, Fred again.. and OGdub, the second song of his ten-week release streak, currently sits at Number 40.

Rooting for Pinkpantheress to stay top 40 and Golden declining again so it goes to ACR - both looking unlikely.

Yeah olvias always behind on first look so she be back ahead friday

Golden still doing that weel reckon it will stay in when it hits acr anyway

Oooooh they've been really quite generous with their update!
