U.K. MIDWEEKS: DUA LIPA, P!NK IN A DUEL

8/14/17

Dua Lipa and P!nk are battling it out for the #1 spot on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart this week.

P!nk is the highest riser on singles with “What About Us” (RCA) entering at #2 after charting at #83 on Friday during its first 24 hours on sale. Dua Lipa is just 512 combined sales ahead at #1 with “New Rules” (Warner Bros.), which has been scaling the Top 100 for five weeks. Should either of them emerge victor by Friday, they'll be the first female solo act to top the Official Chart in the U.K. in almost two years—the last was Adele with “Hello” in 2015.

Elvis Presley returns to #1 on albums with Sony Music CG’s third release by the King in three years, The 50 Greatest Hits. It's another close call, however, as Ed Sheeran sits less than 200 combined sales behind at midway stage.
