It's Gayle vs. Adele for the U.K. chart crown!
The 17-year-old singer and songwriter takes the lead in the chart race with her viral song “abcdefu,” though“Abcdefu” has the advantage on the First Look chart, which ranks the most popular songs in the U.K. based on sales and streams counted from the first 48 hours in the cycle.
At this stage, it’s too close to call. Just 1,000 chart sales split “Abcdefu” and “Easy On Me,” which is currently on a seven-week streak at No. 1, the longest for any Adele song. With “Abcdefu,” the Texas teen topped Billboard’s Emerging Artists list and, in December, earned a No. 51 debut on the Billboard Hot 100. The single has gone as high as No. 15 on the U.S. chart.
