Ed Sheeran is set for a major chart week as his latest single Old Phone makes a strong first impression on the Official Chart: First Look, landing at Number 9 based on early sales and streaming figures. If it maintains its momentum through the week, it will become Sheeran’s 43rd Top 10 single — a staggering testament to his continued dominance in the UK music scene.
But that’s not all for the pop superstar. His previous release Azizam is also climbing, rising two places to Number 2 in the midweek update. If it holds position by Friday, the track will achieve a new peak, surpassing its current best of Number 3.
Meanwhile, Alex Warren’s Ordinary appears unstoppable, poised to extend its reign at Number 1 for an eighth consecutive week — a remarkable feat for the emerging artist.
Elsewhere in the chart, Teddy Swims is showing signs of a resurgence. His track Bad Dreams is up two places and could re-enter the Top 10, depending on its trajectory over the coming days.
Dance duo Sonny Fodera and Clementine Douglas are also making waves. Their collaborative single Tell Me has leapt seven places to Number 20, marking what could be its first Top 20 appearance if the trend holds.
Just outside the Top 20, Jorja Smith may be on the cusp of another hit. The Way I Love You is currently at Number 25, positioning it to potentially become her eighth Top 40 single.
The Official Chart: First Look, published every Sunday, offers an early glimpse of how the UK’s biggest singles are shaping up before the full Top 100 is revealed on Friday. With Ed Sheeran gunning for yet another milestone and new artists continuing to climb, this week’s chart is already shaping up to be one to watch.
