After being knocked off the top by Harry Styles’ American Girls, Rein Me In currently stands to take home its fourth week at the top. But could we see Bella Kay become the youngest Number 1 holder of 2026 so far? The incredible success of iloveitiloveitiloveit seemingly came from nowhere, entering the Top 40 just last month. Now, the track vies eternal glory at the summit but has work to do, with the hit currently at Number 2. Can she pull off a remarkable chart moment come Friday? Therefore, American Girls from recent Saturday Night Live host Harry Styles, begins the week at Number 3. Your highest new entry could come courtesy of Official Charts Ones To Watch 2026 alumni Sienna Spiro and her strikingly bold new tune, The Visitor (7). Moreover, The Visitor is tracking to be Sienna’s highest charting single ever and second Top 10 accomplishment. Elsewhere, Stateside looks to jump two (4), while Noah Kahan’s latest cut Porch Light aims for a Top 20 finish (13). Midnight Sun looks to equal its personal best placement, situated at Number 20 in this latest update as Ella Langley’s Choosin’ Texas eyes fresh ground (31). And finally, Bebe Rexha’s banger featuring Faithless New Religion begins its journey towards ranking inside the Top 40 (35).

March 14Mar 14 Hey guys! I've finally made an account after so many years. I come from a small Balkan country, but I'm a big pop culture fan. The most popular radio station here is closely associated with the UK and your music scene, so I've been influenced by British music and your charts.This may be offtopic, but I have a specific question. I remember that your chart used to work in a different way, artists withheld songs from iTunes and released them a couple of months later than radios(resulting in a high peak and then a freefall) . Can you tell me when and how this changed, cause I can't really remember. Edited March 14Mar 14 by TFilip

I think Sigala's one with John Newman was the last real example of it.

March 15Mar 15 Loving the high turnover of #1s at the moment! I imagine BTS should be able to get another one in a couple of weeks too? Hard to tell what their numbers will be like though.
March 15Mar 15 I think bts will manage, as it’ll be their first release back as a band in a couple years so there’ll be that momentum! I also wonder if possibly raye could get another with her album out in two weeks? I know there’s lots of demand for click clack symphony and it’s got an official sound on tiktok and instagram so is looking likely to be pushed as a single plus a music video
March 15Mar 15 The BTS album also over 4M pre-saves which is the second most ever behind Showgirl. Saying that, I imagine a lot of those pre-saves are bots.

Isn’t Bella ahead on every platform?I would imagine RMI has more premium streams than Bella - looking at the OCC's audio streaming charts she was number one yet 5k sales behind Harry's streaming total last week. Not to mention Sam's label will probably find some spare vinyls lying around and push them if they feel number one is under threat.
