It’s official – dance music is well and truly back dominating the UK’s Official Chart!
New data from the Official Charts Company confirms that this week, for the first time in six years, four of the five tracks that make up the Official Singles Chart Top 5 are dance tracks. It’s the first time since September 2016 – when The Chainsmokers and Halsey were at Number 1 with smash hit Closer – that this has happened, and is further proof of the dance renaissance taking over the UK this summer.
The charge is once again led by Scottish DJ duo LF SYSTEM, who hold on tight for a seventh consecutive week at Number 1, with Afraid To Feel raking in over 5.2 million streams, making it the most-streamed track in the UK. While further dance floor hits from the likes of Eliza Rose and Interplanetary Criminal (2), Beyoncé (3) and David Guetta, Becky Hill and Ella Henderson (5) all join the Top 5 Official Chart leaderboard.
East London DJ Eliza Rose’s rising breakout hit B.O.T.A (Baddest Of Them All) poses a real challenge to LF System’s residency at the top - the house slammer jumps up eight spots to a new peak of Number 2 after transcending its viral TikTok success. After leapfrogging Beyoncé’s Break My Soul, can Eliza go all the way next week?
It’s Crazy What Love Can Do, and it’s crazy how patient David Guetta, Becky Hill and Ella Henderson have been. After weeks of inching closer, their collab finally leaps up two spots to break into the Top 5 (5) for the first time.
OneRepublic’s Top Gun: Maverick smash I Ain’t Worried is up three (6), DJ James Hype and Miggy Dela Rosa zoom up eight with Ferrari (9) to provide James his first UK Top 10 in five years and Calvin Harris, Justin Timberlake, Halsey and Pharrell jump three (10) for
