In the singles chart, Rita Ora’s ‘RIP’ looks set to go to Number One this weekend, displacing last week’s chart topper Tulisa’s ‘Young’ down to Number Two.

The Voice is also responsible for a number of other new entries on the chart, including The Temper Trap’s 2008 single ‘Sweet Disposition’, which moves to Number 15 after being covered by David Julien on the show. Tom Petty’s 1989 track ‘Free Fallin” (Number 38) also looks set to enter the Official Singles Chart for the first time ever after being sung by another contestant, Max Milner, at the weekend.
