With “Unholy,” Sam Smith and Kim Petras are dominating the U.K. charts for a third week in a row (EMI).
First Look is a list that ranks songs based on sales and streaming activity at the midweek point. The viral song is at the top, followed by Lewis Capaldi’s “Forget Me” (Vertigo), David Guetta’s “I’m Good (Blue),” and Bebe Rexha’s “I’m Good (Blue)” (all from Parlophone).

The Manchester rapper’s “Psycho” (Atlantic) duet with Anne-Marie is predicted to gain 12-8 points, while “My G” (Asylum/Capitol), his tag-team with Ed Sheeran, is predicted to gain 16-13 points.
With his drum ‘n’ bass collaboration with Mattafix, “Big City Life” (Warner Records), Australian producer and DJ Luude is still among the top 10 songs. “Big City Life” rises 11-9 on the list as the follow-up to “Down Under,” which earlier this year peaked at No. 5 on the Official Chart.
Even though there are no brand-new singles that are debuting on the chart explosion, a few songs are moving up the charts, including songs by Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran (“For My Hand” up 19-15 via Atlantic), Tom Grennan (“All These Nights” up 64-16 via Insanity), Lizzo (“2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)” up 2018 via Atlantic), Cian Ducrot (“All For You” up 23-19 via Polydor), and Rema (“Calm
When the Official U.K. Singles Chart is released late on Friday, everything will be made clear (Oct. 14).
