Charli xcx – Guess (Lyrics) ft. Billie Eilish

Charli is back at Number 1 in the UK after the surprise release of a "Guess" – a track from her latest album, "Brat" – remix featuring Billie Eilish.

While “Brat” climbs to Number 2 on the Official Albums chart, “Guess” featuring Billie Eilish takes the top spot, becoming the Essex-born singer’s first Number 1 hit as a lead artist on the Official Singles chart. It’s her first appearance at Number 1 since Icona Pop and Charli’s collaboration “I Love It” topped the chart in 2013.

Charli also deserves credit for becoming the first British artist to top the Official Singles Chart this year. American acts (and one Irish act — ahem, Hozier) have largely led the chart, with Sabrina Carpenter as the previous No. 1 holder. The UK singles chart has largely mirrored the US chart for much of this year, with previous No. 1s coming from the likes of Beyoncé ("Texas Hold 'Em"), Noah Kahan ("Stick Season"), Benson Boone ("Beautiful Things") and Taylor Swift (feat. Post Malone for "Fortnight").
