Taylor Swift is gearing up for a major impact on the U.K. singles chart. With the release of her latest album, “Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition),” on May 26, three tracks from the album are already making a strong bid for the top 10 spots.
Early sales and streaming data suggest that “Karma” has the potential to jump from 67th position to an impressive 2nd place on the chart. This surge in popularity is attributed to a new version of the song featuring Ice Spice. Another fan favorite, “Hits Different,” is expected to make its debut at No. 8, while “Snow On The Beach,” featuring Lana Del Rey, may enter the top 10 due to a re-recording with additional vocals from Lana Del Rey. “Snow” starts its ascent on the chart at No. 10.

Dua Lipa’s soundtrack for the upcoming Barbie film, “Dance The Night,” is generating considerable buzz.

Meanwhile, Kylie Minogue’s latest song, “Padam Padam,” is gaining momentum across the country. The catchy electro-pop track is climbing the charts and has the potential to break into the top 20 for the first time. Currently, it sits at No. 18 on the chart blast, after debuting at No. 26 on the previous chart. This achievement marks Kylie Minogue’s highest position on the survey since her 2014 hit, “In The Blue,” which peaked at No. 12.
At the pinnacle of the chart blast is Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s throwback rave anthem, “Miracle.” The song is on its way to securing its eighth non-consecutive week at the top, equaling Calvin Harris’ longest reign for a single.
Music fans eagerly await the publication of the Official U.K. Singles Chart on Friday (June 2) to see how these songs perform. Taylor Swift’s dominance, J Hus’ potential breakthrough, Dua Lipa’s soundtrack, Kylie Minogue’s rise, and the continued success of “Miracle” will all be unveiled in the official chart rankings.
