Charli XCX’s ‘Guess’ is the BRAT Summer Anthem Aiming for Top Spot on U.K. Singles Chart

Charli XCX is making serious headway in the U.K. chart race with her latest single, “Guess“.

With a viral remix featuring none other than Billie Eilish, Charli is ready to nab her first solo No. 1 hit in the U.K. It’s been a while since she reigned at the top—back in 2012, she soared to No. 1 as part of Icona Pop’s infectious banger, “I Love It“. Now, it looks like it’s finally Charli’s time to shine on her own.

Charli’s chart domination doesn’t stop there.

Her track “Apple” is also expected to crash into the Top 10 for the very first time, according to an early update published by the Official Charts Company. Currently at No. 10, the summer anthem is proving to be an unstoppable force. Meanwhile, “360” is climbing higher, reaching a new midweek peak at No. 11.

It’s safe to say Charli is on fire, and there’s no extinguishing BRAT summer.

In other chart news, Jordan Adetunji’s track “Kehlani” is set to hit a new high, rising to No. 13.

The boost comes thanks to a fresh remix featuring the actual Kehlani, adding some extra flair to the already popular track.

Not to be outdone, Adam Port, Stryv & KeineMusik are shaking up the dance scene with their hit “Move”, which is expected to leap three places to No. 15, marking a fresh peak for this dancefloor sensation.

And for a touch of nostalgia, get ready for *NSYNC to make a surprise comeback. Their classic hit “Bye Bye Bye” is set to re-enter the U.K. Top 20 at No. 16, marking the first time the song has been this high in the charts in a whopping 24 years. Originally peaking at No. 3 back in 2000, this resurgence is all thanks to the ongoing buzz around Deadpool & Wolverine.

As we await the final results this Friday, all eyes are on Charli XCX. Will she secure her first solo No. 1, or will the competition be too fierce?

One thing’s for sure—this week’s U.K. charts are shaping up to be an exciting ride for music fans everywhere, so stay tuned.
