On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, “Sprinter” (Live Yours/Neighbourhood) by Dave and Central Cee is heading for #1 on Friday.

Three rising dance hits could reach new peaks, including Switch Disco and Ella Henderson’s “React” (Relentless) at #3 and Jazzy’s “Giving Me” (Polydor) at #4. Rudimental, Charlotte Plank and Vibe Chemistry could enter the Top 10 for the first time with “Dancing Is Healing” (Room Two Records) at #10.
