Billie Eilish and Charli XCX’s “Guess” rework debuts at No. 2 on two U.K. charts after a Record … More
Billie Eilish comes extremely close to adding another No. 1 to her growing list of smashes in the United Kingdom this week. The Grammy and Oscar winner joined Charli XCX on a reworked version of her dance anthem “Guess” last year, and it’s become a huge success all over again. While it doesn’t quite manage to reach No. 1, it nearly does so, and in the process, gives both superstars new top 10 wins.
“Guess” Launches at No. 2
“Guess” makes a big splash in the U.K. this chart week, launching at No. 2 on both the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles rankings. The only title keeping Eilish and Charli from ruling both lists is “Fortnight,” the high-profile duet from Taylor Swift and Post Malone. That tune is an instant champion on those rosters, as few can come close to matching her sales success, especially on vinyl.
Billie Eilish Has Been Here Before
While just missing the top spot might sting, Eilish is used to both winning and placing high on these tallies. The superstar has already landed three No. 1s on the Official Physical Singles chart and four on the Official Vinyl Singles ranking.
On the latter ranking, her cuts “My Future,” “No Time to Die,” “TV,” and “What Was I Made For?” have all risen to the summit. Three of those same singles — excluding “TV” — also led the physical-only list.
Charli XCX, on the other hand, has experienced a slightly different trajectory when it comes to the U.K. sales lists. “Vroom Vroom” remains her lone No. 1 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart. She has yet to lead the Official Physical Singles roster, though she’s come close on more than one occasion.
Both Charli XCX and Billie Eilish are Familiar with the Top 10
Despite their slightly different sales chart histories, both Charli XCX and Eilish are frequent visitors to the top 10 on the rankings where they debut this frame. Charli in particular has made a habit of peaking at No. 2, with multiple songs hitting that runner-up position, now including “Guess.”
Eilish has also seen several of her recent cuts just miss the top, though she’s previously managed to conquer both tallies. She returned most recently with her dreamy composition “Birds of a Feather,” which soared to No. 2 not long ago.
“Guess” Returns to Multiple Charts
“Guess” also returns to two more U.K. rankings this week, in addition to the tallies where it launches in the runner-up spot. The track reenters the Official Singles Sales chart at No. 2 — a brand new high — and also sneaks back onto the main Official Singles list, landing at No. 44.
The “Guess” resurgence is part of Record Store Day 2025. A 7-inch vinyl version of the tune with Eilish was released specifically for the annual celebration, and fans showed up in large enough numbers to grab a copy to make it a chart success – a big one.
