Oasis’s Wonderwall is targeting a Top 10 return at Number 8, while Three Lions aims for Number 16 and Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) for Number 34. Away from football, Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s Rein Me In is on track for a 17th consecutive week at Number 1, breaking Bryan Adams’ 1991 record for (Everything I Do) I Do It For You. Prospa and Cloonee’s Free Your Mind rises to Number 3, and Josh Baker’s My Place featuring Poppy Baskcomb is at Number 25. After Bonnie Tyler’s death on Thursday, Total Eclipse of the Heart re-enters at Number 39.
