According to Official Chart First Look, which offers an early view of the Top 20 based on initial sales and streaming data, the timeless anthem currently leads the race for the summit. The track jumped to Number 12 in last Friday’s update, marking a 350% week-on-week surge, and now seems ready to notch a long-awaited chart-topping milestone for the late legend.
Parton’s enduring catalog dominates the upper region of the chart snapshot. Her 1976 signature hit “Jolene” sits at Number 2, while her iconic 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers, “Islands In the Stream,” has risen to Number 6. If these placements hold through to Friday’s final tally, it would stand as a historic collective tribute to the artist’s lasting impact across generations.
Elsewhere in the mid-week update, HUGEL, Imael Angel, and Ultra Naté occupy Number 3 with “Movin’ To The Sun,” followed by Stella Lefty’s “Boston” at Number 4 and Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” at Number 5. The previously long-running chart-topper “Rein Me In” by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean slips to Number 8.
The preliminary standings also flag several potential new entries and re-entries. Following the release of his second studio album WILDCHILD, Alex Warren looks set to add two new Top 40 tracks, with “CRY WOLF” tracking at Number 21 and “EMERALD EYES” at Number 23.
Dua Lipa is on course to re-enter the chart at Number 36 with “Training Season” after unveiling her Training Season’s Over live EP, while Olivia Rodrigo’s political track “serena joy” is tracking for a debut at Number 39. Additionally, Audrey Hobert’s single “Sue Me” aims for its first Top 20 placement, currently forecast to rise to Number 20, as Noah Kahan’s “Orbiter” targets a fresh peak at Number 30.
