\n\tBeyonc\u00e9<\/a>\u00a0should hold onto her U.K. chart crown for a third week, at least.<\/p>\n \n\tBased on midweek sales and streaming data tabled by the Official Charts Company, Bey\u2019s \u201cTexas Hold \u2018Em\u201d (via Columbia\/Parkwood Ent) has the advantage. <\/p>\n \n\tBeyonc\u00e9\u2019s\u00a0country-tinged hit is her sixth solo U.K. leader, and her first in 14 years. She has an additional two U.K. No. 1s as a member of Destiny\u2019s Child.<\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile, Teddy Swims<\/a>\u2019 \u201cLose Control\u201d (Atlantic) currently sits behind \u201cTexas Hold \u2018Em\u201d at No. 2, with Benson Boone<\/a>\u2019s \u201cBeautiful Things\u201d (Warner Records) closing out the podium at No. 3. <\/p>\n \n\tAfter cracking the top 10 for the first time last Friday, Kanye West<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ty Dolla $ign<\/a>\u2018s \u201cCarnival\u201d (YZY) continues to move north. \u201cCarnival\u201d is set to climb 9-6 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, for a new peak position. The track appears on the Vultures 1<\/em> collection, which recently peaked at No. 2 in the U.K.<\/p>\n \n\tThe top debut on the singles tally should belong to Olly Alexander<\/a> with \u201cDizzy\u201d (Polydor), the U.K. entry for the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest<\/a>. Produced by Danny L Harle, \u201cDizzy\u201d is new at No. 15 on the chart blast. As frontman with Years & Years, the pop singer scored 10 top 40 singles, including five top 10s and No. 1 in 2015 with \u201cKing\u201d.<\/p>\n \n\tClose behind is Charli XCX<\/a>\u2018s \u201cVon Dutch\u201d (Atlantic), new at No. 16 on the chart update, for what should become the British singer and songwriter\u2019s 15th top 40 hit. <\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile, Twenty One Pilots<\/a>\u2018 is expected to land a third top 40 with \u201cOvercompensate\u201d (Atlantic). It\u2019s new at No. 26 on the chart blast.<\/p>\n \n\tFinally, Pharrell Williams<\/a> and Miley Cyrus<\/a> could bag another top 40 with \u201cDoctor (Work It Out)\u201d (via Columbia), new at No. 32 on midweek tally. The collab has reportedly been in the works<\/a> for over a decade, and was intended to appear on but apparently scrapped from Cyrus\u2019 2013 album Bangerz<\/em>. <\/p>\n \n\tMiley already has 24 U.K. top 40 hits, with three No. 1s, including \u201cFlowers\u201d which led the national chart for 10 weeks in 2023. Pharrell has 19 U.K. top 40s, including four leaders.<\/p>\n \n\tAll will be revealed when the Official U.K. Singles Chart is published Friday, March 8.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
