BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge Allstars are currently leading the charge for Number 1 with Times Like These. The cover of the Foo Fighters classic is performed by 23 of the biggest names in music and was released last Thursday (April 23).
Impressively, it debuted at Number 5 last week after just a few hours of sales and streams.Things are tight at the top however with The Weeknd expecting to close the gap before the week is out; the Canadian’s former Number 1 Blinding Lights trails behind by only 5,300 chart sales and is the stronger of the two tracks on streaming services.
For Times Like These to hold on to the top spot, fans will need to continue their support by downloading and streaming the song throughout the week.
