Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” (Island) simply won’t cool down in the U.K., where it’s on track for a fifth consecutive week at No. 1.
The summer hit leads an unchanged top 3 on the midweek chart, ahead of Billie Eilish’s “Lunch” (Interscope) and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (American Dogwood/Empire), respectively.
Based on sales and streaming data captured by the Official Charts Company, the highest new entry should belong to Central Cee and Lil Baby with their collaborative single “BAND4BAND”. It’s new at No. 4 on the Official Chart Update,
Lifted from Central Cee’s forthcoming major label studio album with Columbia Records, “BAND4BAND” should become the British rapper’s eighth U.K. Top 10 hit single, and U.S. hip-hop artist Lil Baby’s fourth.
On the outside looking into the top 10 is rising soul-pop singer Myles Smith with “Stargazing” (RCA). It’s on the rise, and is forecast to improve 14-11, for a new high.
A hatful of U.S. country stars have recently enjoyed chart success in the U.K., a period that’s been described as a renaissance for the genre in these parts. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song,” Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help” (No. 5 midweek via Republic Records), “Dasha’s “Austin” (No. 9 midweek via Warner Records) and, of course, Beyonce’s chart-topping, country-flavored Cowboy Carter LP (Columbia/Parkwood Ent), have all rounded up top 10 spots on the U.K. charts. Zach Bryan wants in on the action. The U.S. country singer’s “Pink Skies” (Warner Records) flies in for a No. 31 start on the chart blast. It’s set to become his second U.K. Top 40 entry following his 2023 duet with Kacey Musgraves, “I Remember Everything,” which peaked at No. 14.
Finally, Teddy Swims is eyeing a top 40 with “The Door,” the followup to “Lose Control,” his breakthrough blues number. “The Door” is up 45-33 on the chart blast, and could give the U.S. singer and songwriter his second U.K. top 40 appearance. “Lose Control” peaked at No. 2 earlier this year.
All will be revealed when the Official U.K. Singles Chart is published late Friday, May 31.
