U.K. MIDWEEKS: "SEASON'S" GREETINGS

Noah Kahan is eyeing his first U.K. Official Singles #1 with “Stick Season” (Mercury/Republic). Over on albums, Taylor Swift looks to the top once more.

As the Christmas hits fall back down the chart, “Stick Season” has risen nine places. Should it reach the summit on Friday, it will do so in its 14th week on the chart.

Jack Harlow’s former chart-topper, “Lovin on Me” (Atlantic), is up 25 places to #2. Tate McRae could see “greedy” (Ministry of Sound) return to its previous peak of #3.

Following the release of a limited-edition vinyl offering, Dua Lipa’s “Houdini” (Warner Records) is on track for a return to the Top 5 at #4. “DNA (Loving You)” (Atlantic) by Billy Gillies f/Hannah Boleyn is aiming to break the Top 5 for the first time at #5.

On the U.K.’s Official Albums midweeks, Swift will almost certainly return to #1 with 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (EMI).

ABBA’s Gold: Greatest Hits (Polydor), at #3, could climb to its highest position since 2008, while Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS (Geffen), #5, appears to be rebounding into the Top 5.

Kahan’s Stick Season could return to its #6 peak. Fleetwood Mac’s 50 Years: Don’t Stop (Warner Records), meanwhile, is back in the Top 10, at #7.
