Boosted, of course, by the release of its parent album COWBOY CARTER, TEXAS HOLD ‘EM is on course to ascend to the top of the Official Singles Chart for a fifth non-consecutive week.
Two more COWBOY CARTER tracks could also impact the Top 10; Bey’s take on Dolly Parton’s classic JOLENE (5) and II MOST WANTED (8), a duet with Miley Cyrus.
British-Cypriot DJ Artemas’s i like the way you kiss me is on track to lift up six places week-on-week, it would become his first-ever Top 10 single (7).
Outside of the Top 10, Irish DJ duo NewEra are so close to seeing Birds In The Sky fly into the Top 20 for the first time (19), while Jungle’s Back on 74 could hit a brand-new Number 23 peak following a viral resurgence. It previously peaked at Number 25 last year.
The Blessed Madonna & Clementine Douglas are looking to jump up 15 spots with Happier (25), while Benson Boone’s Slow It Down – the follow-up to UK Number 1 single Beautiful Things – edges closer to entering the Top 20 (26).
Rudimental, Skepsis, Charlotte Plank and Riko Dan are expected to reach a new peak with Green & Gold (28), while US TikTok sensation Mark Ambor is predicted to score his first UK Top 40 single on Friday with Belong Together (29).
Jax Jones & Zoe Wees’ Never Be Lonely could finally crack the Top 40, following a viral remix featuring Cascada (37) and, finally, Meghan Trainor’s team-up with T-Pain, Been Like This, could rise 11 (39).
