The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights is on course to reclaim this week’s Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, currently up one place to 1, knocking last week’s chart-topper No Time To Die by Billie Eilish down to 2. If Blinding Lights holds on until Friday, it'll be its third week at the summit.
The Weeknd is set to land another Top 40 entry this week with the newly released After Hours, currently at Number 17. It’s the title track from the Canadian’s upcoming album, out on March 20.
Joel Corry is set to earn his second Top 10 single with Lonely, so far up seven places to Number 7. The British producer’s last single Sorry was a Top 10 hit last August.
