\n\tThe summer of Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> continues to heat up.<\/p>\n \n\tBased on sales and streaming data published by the Official Charts Company<\/a>, Carpenter is within touching distance of a second U.K. No. 1 this year with \u201cPlease Please Please\u201d (Island).<\/p>\n \n\tThe U.S. singer and actor is expected to climb the summit with her latest single, and snag a rare 1-2. Sabrina\u2019s breakthrough hit Espresso,\u201d which led the national tally for five weeks, is expected to hold at No. 2.<\/p>\n \n\tEminem<\/a>\u2019s \u201cHoudini\u201d (Interscope) last week became the Detroit Rap God\u2019s longest-reigning single, with a two-week stand. \u201cHoudini\u201d should complete the chart podium<\/a>, dipping 1-3.<\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile, Myles Smith\u2019s U.K. breakthrough \u201cStargazing\u201d (RCA) is tracking for its highest peak yet, and is anticipated to climb one spot to No. 6.<\/p>\n \n\tAs Taylor Swift<\/a>\u2019s The Eras Tour<\/em> winds its way around the U.K., the pop superstar\u2019s music climbs the U.K. charts. \u201cFortnight\u201d featuring Post Malone is on the brink of a return to the top tier, at No. 10, while \u201cCruel Summer\u201d is close behind at No. 13.<\/p>\n \n\tSwift\u2019s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department <\/em>(EMI), is chasing a seventh U.K. chart crown. It\u2019s the leader on the Official Albums Chart Update<\/a>, a touch over 1,100 chart units ahead of Billie Eilish\u2019s former No. 1 Hit Me Hard And Soft<\/em> (Interscope).<\/p>\n \n\tThe highest new entry on the forthcoming albums survey is expected to be Paul McCartney & Wings\u2019 One Hand Clapping<\/em> (Capitol), a collection of previously-unreleased works recorded at Abbey Road Studios in 1973. It\u2019s new at No. 3 on the chart blast and should become the band\u2019s ninth U.K. top 10 appearance.<\/p>\n \n\tAlso hunting a top 10 spot is English indie-rock act Sea Girls with Midnight Butterflies<\/em> (No. 4 via Alt), Fred again..\u2019s USB<\/em> (up 171 places to No. 6 via Atlantic), the late David Bowie with the posthumous boxed set Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll Star!<\/em> (No. 7 via Parlophone) and U.S. country star Luke Combs\u2019 with Fathers & Sons<\/em> (No. 8 via Sony Music CG).<\/p>\n \n\tAll will be revealed when the Official U.K. Charts are published Friday, June 21.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
