Barring any unforeseen hurdles, Dave and Central Cee’s “Sprinter” (Live Yours/Neighbourhood) is bolting to a fourth week atop the U.K. chart.
The record-breaking British hip-hop collaboration soaked up another 9 million streams last week, for a third consecutive cycle at the top. Based on sales and streaming data for the first half of the latest frame, the Official Charts Company reports, “Sprinter” should make it a full month at the summit.
If it continues to outpace J Hus and Drake’s “Who Told You” (currently No. 2), Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s “Miracle” (No. 3), and the rest of contenders, “Sprinter” will equal the four-week run of Dave’s longest-reigning single, 2022’s “Starlight”.
