Gayle surging towards her first UK Number 1 single with abcdefu on Official Singles Chart

Thanks to a post-Christmas lull, many tracks are lifting up the Official Singles Chart to new peaks - and Gayle's viral hit abcdefu is leading the pack.
By George Griffiths
17 year-old rising US pop star Gayle is heading towards her first UK Number 1 single, as break-up anthem abcdefu surges up the Official Singles Chart. As Christmas songs vacate the chart this week, abcdefu which rose to popularity on TikTok looks set to gain heavily, it first entered the chart seven weeks ago before peaking at Number 2 in December. The Texas-born singer is currently up 13 places to Number 1 on tonight’s Official Chart First Look. Find out more about Gayle here.

Meanwhile, a lot of tracks this week experience massive jumps in position in the post-Christmas lull. DJ Acraze eyes his first UK Top 10 entry with Do It To It featuring girlband Cherish, which is currently up 41 places to Number 2, it previously peaked at Number 13. Also coming up close behind, ArrDee and Sam Fender could reach new peaks with Flowers (Say My Name) and Seventeen Going Under currently tracking for the Number 3 and Number 4 positions respectively.



Last week’s chart-topper Ed Sheeran could vault back in to the Top 10 with three tracks this Friday; former Number 1s Shivers and Bad Habits are at Numbers 5 and 7, while new track Peru with Fireboy DML is on the rise, up 18 to a new peak of Number 10.

Outside the Top 10, Joel Corry and Mabel could reach a new peak with I Wish eyeing a jump to Number 11. The track previously peaked at Number 19.

A viral track from Disney’s latest film Encanto, We Don’t Talk About Bruno, could be this week’s biggest climber, tracking to ascend 54 places to Number 12. The track is performed by the film’s cast including Caroline Gaitan, Mauro Catillo, reggaeton artist Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrerro and Stephanie Beatriz.

Another track from the film - Surface Pressure, performed by actress Jessica Darrow - is also set to rise 47 places to Number 18.

Imagine Dragons and JID also look set to reach a new peak with their single Enemy, taken from League of Legends. It could rise 36 spots to Number 17. And finally, Justin Bieber’s Ghost could rise 42 spots to a new peak of Number 19, it previously peaked at Number 29.

The Official Singles Chart Top 100 is revealed on OfficialCharts.com every Friday at 5.45pm. Follow the Top 40 countdown live on BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart show with Scott Mills.

Have Shivers, Bad Habits and Cold Heart been reset or is it just the end of the year effect where the best sellers get a boost since Easy on Me has been above those tracks (even allowing for ACR) for the previous 3 weeks?

[Blondini]

No resets announced.

Have Shivers, Bad Habits and Cold Heart been reset or is it just the end of the year effect where the best sellers get a boost since Easy on Me has been above those tracks (even allowing for ACR) for the previous 3 weeks?

Sadly the source who used to provide sales information (including resets / top 200 chart without ACR etc) has seemingly vanished so we may not find out until next Friday. In fact if he (or she) doesn't return, and at the moment it doesn't look like it, sales information is going to be thin on the ground unless Alan Jones can continue to write the weekly chart analysis columns and provide in depth sales figures. He's already retired once and there's seemingly no-one to take his place this time. Music Week keep cutting staff and had he not returned to writing his columns I doubt they would have continued in the form that we know.

If "Shivers" were reseted would be #01 as have the same Spotify streams but have been mostly ahead on iTunes sale.("ABCDFU" is now selling 25% less than "Shivers" on iTunes).

we'll still get Music Week sales on Wednesday?

[Robbie]

we'll still get Music Week sales on Wednesday?

This Wednesday or Wednesdays in general? I'm assuming we will get top 5 sales tomorrow and this will definitely be the case for subsequent Wednesdays (and Mondays). There has been someone submitting articles to the Music Week site over the holidays so hopefully we will get a sales update tomorrow.

Both. So Alan Jones is not "our only hope", our Obi-Wan.

[Blondini]

^ If you mean ACR reset news, the Wednesday reports might tell us if it's important and OCC site will sometimes mention it, too.

I mean, really? Why does Adele need a reset? She should be concentrating on the next single. Coldplay? WTF? The Anxiety is an old single already!!

[braindeadpj]

Even with a reset Overpass is still 'selling' less than Shivers and Bad Habits on ACR! Not sure they're going to make a 'success' out of that as a 3rd single.....
Adele (and/or her record company) are probably aiming for the longest no.1 by a solo UK female record and that's why they asked for a reset. I don't think it'd have increased by 25% in streaming compared to last week; though of course it is compared to the overall market so that might make it so.... Though I suspect they would've had to ask anyway- especially if the OCC have a moratorium on resets based on the market this week.....

Also she 'lost' the album no.1 so if she can get back the single at least she has one no.1 this week...! We know the sales of Overpass and the next 9 best-selling tracks (all starred out) makeup the streaming side for Ed... while Oh my God! and the remaining tracks count for Adele..

[MadNuno]

I mean, really? Why does Adele need a reset? She should be concentrating on the next single. Coldplay? WTF? The Anxiety is an old single already!!

Despite doing great Adele single didn't perform as good as her label was expecting (especially outside english speaking countries) .
They must want to give it a push during early this year so it can end up being a bigger single everywhere.
With iTunes, YouTube and Streaming it's almost impossible for Global Artists to release singles/songs in diferent dates on diferent countries as they used to do before with physical singles.

Also if the album is still TOP 2 on UK charts with just this single why "burn" the next single so early?

What will the official second single from this album be? Does anyone knows?

[braindeadpj]

Buzzjack suggests that Shivers would be no.1 if it was reset. Based on the Tuesday update with Shivers at 5 and Easy on Me at 9, that is probably true (though they must be fairly close as its maximum possible 'sales' would be 27.4k (assuming records 4-8 are selling almost the same.......).

[jszmiles]

So still Ed has 4 songs in top 20. OCC couldn't count to 4?

[Blondini]

So still Ed has 4 songs in top 20. OCC couldn't count to 4?

see the weekly thread for their unconvincing explanation
https://www.ukmix.org/forum/chart-di...9#post10794459

[MadNuno]

So still Ed has 4 songs in top 20. OCC couldn't count to 4?

As only 3 songs are from the same album then he is allowed to have 4.
He would be allowed to have the full TOP 20 with 20 songs if at max 3 were from the same album.
That's the rule and they didn't change it.
It was created to avoid that new albums that would strream high as hell didn't chart all tracks inside the charts (like still happens on US Billboard Hot 100).

[jszmiles]

I forgot "the same album" thing
