The Weeknd is in pole position for an eighth week at Number 1 with Blinding Lights.

The Canadian’s first UK chart topper is over 4,000 chart sales ahead on today's Official Chart: First Look based on downloads and streams from across the weekend. Blinding Lights is one of only seven songs to have had three or more separate stints at Number 1.

The Official Chart: First Look airs on BBC Radio 1 each Sunday between 6pm – 7pm and offers a first glance of the Top 20 ahead of Friday’s Official Singles Chart Top 100. The chart is based on preliminary sales and early streaming reports.

Songs that could reach new peaks this week include Mabel’s Boyfriend (9) and Falling by Harry Styles (15).

The highest climber on today’s sales flash is Tequila by producers/DJs Jax Jones & Martin Solveig, and British singer-songwriter Raye. The party anthem rockets 14 places to Number 18.

Outside of the Top 20, the most downloaded song on the First Look chart is Everyday Heroes by Scottish rock band Skerryvore. Reaching Number 38 based on two days of chart sales, the charity single in aid of the NHS Charities Covid-19 Urgent Appeal features a variety of Scottish acts who recorded their contributions in isolation. Acts who lent their support include Peat & Diesel, Tide Lines and Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

The Official Singles Chart is revealed here on OfficialCharts.com every Friday at 5.45pm. Listen to the Top 40 countdown live on BBC Radio 1's Official Chart show with Scott Mills every Friday from 4pm.
