Think So Easy, Stateside and I Just Might are due for ACR next week if they decline on Friday? Hope they all go to freshen up the top 10

Wouldn't So Easy still be 1 of her top 3 even on ACR ?

This top 10 feels ultra stale. I wouldn't mind Babydoll and Dracula coming in to liven things up a bit.

You know times are tough when we’re willing a song from October 2023 and another from October 2025 to come and freshen the charts up.

Potentially, but it wouldn't be hogging a top 10 spot anymore!

Very glad American Girls seems to be stabilising well

American Girls definitely the better of the 2 harry tracks top 20 wouldnt mind it lingering

3 Bella Kay - iloveitiloveitiloveit

Bella down to 3 the BTS must of clocked up some decent digital / physical sales so far then

Wonder just how big the BTS pure sales are

Official Charts Report

Back with a bang?

South Korean boy band BTS could mark their return with a first ever Number 1 single in the UK with SWIM (2).

Following the release of ARIRANG, their first material since 2022, RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin, Jung Kook, V and Jimin find their track just shy of the summit, but ensued in a tight top spot battle. With one comeback in Harry Styles making strong waves in the chart, can BTS follow suit?

Either way, SWIM is on course to earn BTS their highest charting single to date, with Dynamite in 2020 and Butter in 2021 both peaking at Number 3.

And it doesn’t stop there for the lads! Body to Body (24) and Hooligan (34) may also find themselves inside the Top 40.

That means pole position is currently occupied by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s Rein Me In, which regained Number 1 on Friday to mark its fourth non-consecutive week at the top.

Elsewhere, the iconic team-up between RAYE and Hans Zimmer on Click Clack Symphony. could land inside the Top 20 (18) while Dutch DJ Chris Stussy eyes a first Top 40 appearance with Wide Awake featuring Tom Did It (31).

Can Bebe Rexha and Faithless’ New Religion finally break the Top 40? After agonisingly missing out on Friday, the tune once again begins its push for a main entry ticket, currently sat at Number 38 in this First Look update.

British trio FLO’s Leak It will look to earn the girl group a second Top 40 accolade (40).

BTS army get pushing! Though it's probably a bridge too far if they aren't number one on first look

Ooh BTS only at 2 maybe the pure sales arnt as big afterall 😮

Ahhh come on FLO!! Hoping their streams can rise through the week and score them that top 40 placement

If only something could overtake Sam Fender/Olivia Dean.

Was underwhelmed by SWIM on first play but actually liking it more this time round!

Swim is a poor track. There is just nothing to latch on to. Its not interesting musically or lyrically.

Looks like “iloveitiloveitiloveit” might be the “go”/“Love Me Not” of 2026

potential 5 (non consecutive) weeks at #1 for Rein Me In didn't see that coming a few months ago

BTS need to do their usual and drop 20 versions for download.

They should also drop the delivery charge (£3.50) for their £1.99 CD single to shift some more if they want to challenge for #1.

I love it looks like another long running number 2 hit. For now at least
