Ariana Grande is making an immediate splash on the UK Singles Chart with the release of her brand-new album, petal. According to the latest Official Chart First Look update, the global pop superstar is poised to place three fresh tracks directly into the Top 20 this coming Friday. Leading the charge is the album’s title track, "petal," which makes a strong debut at Number 3. Following closely behind, "kiss me" enters the early chart at Number 6, eyeing a spot inside the Top 10, while "stay" positions itself comfortably at Number 11.
Despite Grande's impressive new entries, Sam Fender and Olivia Dean continue their monumental reign at the summit of the chart. After setting a historic record as the longest-running Number 1 single in Official Singles Chart history, their collaborative hit "Rein Me In" holds firm at Number 1, eyeing an incredible 20th consecutive week at the top spot. Meanwhile, Shakira and Burna Boy maintain their strong position at Number 2 with "Dai Dai," holding off Grande's highest entry for the moment.
Further down the Top 10, summer dance anthems are gaining significant momentum. French DJ and producer HUGEL looks set to reach new heights as "Movin' To The Sun," featuring Imael Angel and Ultra Naté, climbs to Number 5. Another major mover in the dance genre is Silva Bumpa's "On 2nite," which is forecast to jump seven spots to secure a maiden Top 10 appearance at Number 10. Ella Langley’s "Choosin' Texas" drops slightly to Number 4, while Olivia Rodrigo's "Stupid Song" slips to Number 7.
Elsewhere on the chart, global girl group KATSEYE is eyeing a new peak with "Animal" at Number 14. Outside the Top 20, fresh campaigns are underway as Mancunian DJ Josh Baker’s "My Place" featuring Poppy Baskcomb and the collaboration track "Good Girl" by Cloonee, Prospa, and Tristan Henry both make moves to break into the Top 40 for the very first time.
