GATHER ROUND CAMILIZERS CAMILA MIGHT REALLY BE ABOUT TO SCORE A UK NUMBER 1.
After three weeks of sitting next to Post Malone and 21 Savage's hit 'rockstar' at Number 2, the former Fifth Harmony member is finally on track to overthrow it. 'Havana' leads the UK singles chart in the midweeks by a staggering 3500 combined sales.
If Camila keeps ahold of the top spot until Friday, 'Havana' will become her first UK Number 1 single.
Elsewhere in the Top 5, 'rockstar' drops to Number 2, Marshmello and Khalid remain at Number 3, Rita Ora and Avicii hold steady at Number 4 and Ed Sheeran climbs into the Top 5 with 'Perfect', the fourth single from his 7x Platinum album ÷ .
Further down, Rita Ora's 'Anywhere' leaps from Number 20 to Number 6. Meanwhile, Selena Gomez and Marshmello are Number 14 with 'Wolves' and Clean Bandit and Julia Michaels enter at Number 26 with their latest single 'I Miss You'.
However, anything could happen between now and the time that the chart is announced on Friday.
Nevertheless, we think that Camila will hold onto her Number 1.
'Havana is currently Number 1 on UK iTunes and Apple Music.
Fingers crossed that she does!
