Taylor Swift is dancing through the lightning strikes en route to her sixth UK Number 1 single with Opalite. The second single from record-setting album The Life of a Showgirl tops the Official Chart: First Look following the release of its star-studded music video and 7" vinyl. Opalite originally peaked at Number 2 last October.

The MV – which premiered exclusively on Spotify and Apple Music on Friday (February 6th), ahead of a wider release on YouTube today (February 8th) – features Taylor's fellow couchmates from an October episode of The Graham Norton Show, including the host himself, Domhnall Gleeson, Lewis Capaldi and Jodie Turner-Smith.

Should Opalite hold on, it will mark the first time any of Taylor Swift's albums have produced two UK Number 1 singles. The Life of a Showgirl's lead single The Fate of Ophelia spent seven non-consecutive weeks atop the Official Chart in 2025.

Rein Me In by Sam Fender & Olivia Dean is tracking towards a new peak of Number 4, while Zara Larsson's viral hit Lush Life could ascend to Number 5, its highest placement since 2016.

Sombr could claim this week's highest new entry with Homewrecker (11), which would mark the US rising star's fifth UK Top 40 hit.

Fresh from dominating the GRAMMYs and ahead of his Superbowl half time show, Bad Bunny's DTMF is on course to climb 29 places to Number 14; the track previously peaked at Number 26 last January.

Myles Smith & Niall Horan's new team-up Drive Safe is eyeing a Top 20 debut (20), while J.Cole has a trio of midweek entries following the release of his new album The Fall-Off: Two Six (23); Safety (27); Poor Thang (32).

There could be further Top 40 debuts this week for Calvin Harris & Kasabian's Release The Pressure (24), Shakira's Zootropolis 2 track Zoo (35), and Zayn's Die For Me, the lead single from his upcoming fifth album Konnakol (39).

It's just midweek

Mostly won't remain

Lush life a top 5 hit Zara with two songs in the top 15? Or she's not credited for Stateside?

Opalite, please pull through

She better cancel those US orders and secure this #1

The UK is so lucky not having to deal with an infestation of rabbits.

You know I do love a London Boy…

This is quite a nice consolation prize!

@makeawish is DtMF affected by the ACR rule? Or could it be a contender for #1?

i think that if a song has a 25%(?) boost inside a week then it gets a reset and it should be on course for that easily (i will look when i get a minute)

EDIT: yup, this is the relevant rule

It is possible for a track to un-relegate itself. If it enjoys a sales boost of more than 25% of the weekly market variance then as of the next week it is restored to the Standard Chart Ratio. And as of July 2018, it only applies to tracks released within the last three years, although the Official Charts Company can (and do) override this at their discretion or if requested to by a label.

it's probably got too far to climb this week so will depend how it holds up into next week. keep in mind he's only ever had 1 top 10 in UK as a feature on the cardi b song.

I hope she performs So Easy (To Fall In Love) or A Couple Minutes

Maybe she could get another #1. Man I Need has been robbed for so many weeks at #1 for that stupid ACR rule
