Chappell Roan is on the brink of a remarkable journey from Missouri to the top of the U.K. singles chart. Only, Sabrina Carpenter stands in her way.
Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe” (via Island) continues to gather steam, and, based on midweek sales and streaming data published by the Official Charts Company, should lift 3-2 on the national chart, for a new high.
According to the OCC, fewer than 1,300 chart units separate “Good Luck” from Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” (Island) — the leader on the Official Chart Update.
If it maintains its pace, “Please Please Please” will lock-up a fifth non-consecutive week at No. 1, while Carpenter’s former leader “Espresso” is still hot, rising 9-7 on the chart blast.
Completing the podium at the midweek stage is British breakthrough artist Myles Smith with “Stargazing” (RCA), set to rise 5-4, a new peak chart position.
The country takeover didn’t miss the U.K., and Dasha has been a part of the wave. The U.S. artist’s “Austin” (Warner Records) is hanging around, lifting 8-5 on the midweek tally as it cruises to its 23rd week on chart.
Another U.S.-created country number, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (American Dogwood/ Empire), is also on the up, improving 11-8 on the midweek tally.
Post Malone’s country era should net him another U.K. top 40. Posty’s collaboration with Luke Combs, “Guy For That” (Republic Records), is predicted to debut at No. 23. Malone already has 23 appearances in the U.K. top 40, Combs has just the one.
Finally, Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s latest EDM collaboration, “Free” (Columbia) is on track for a top 40 start. “Free” is new at No. 32 on the chart blast, and could give the British pair a fourth top 40 collaborative appearance, after 2012’s “I Need Your Love” (No. 4 peak), 2014’s “Outside” (No. 6) and last year’s hit “Miracle,” which led the chart for eight weeks. “I Need Your Love”, “Outside” and “Miracle” have together accumulated just shy of 7 billion streams globally, according to Columbia.
All will be revealed when the Official U.K. Singles Chart is published late Friday, Aug. 2.
