Foals head close chart battle

Foals head close chart battle

Foals have taken an early lead in the albums chart in the face of competition from other new entries from Sigrid, Dido and Dave.

The Oxford band's fifth LP, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Pt 1, has current sales of 13,739 to put it almost 2,000 ahead of Sigrid's debut Sucker Punch (11,761), according to the Official Charts Company's midweek sales flash.

Dido's first album in six years, Still On My Mind (11,625 sales), is close behind at No.3, while the reigning chart-topper, Tom Walker's What A Time To Be Alive, dips to No.4 with sales of 9,545. Dave's Psycho Drama (9,373 sales) is gathering steam at No.5 and may yet emerge as a contender for the top spot. 

Making a strong impression on streaming services, Dave also has three of the Top 11 singles, with the J Hus-featuring Disaster (11,787 sales) new at No.7, Streatham (11,767 sales) straight in at No.8 and Location (9,668 sales), which features Burna Boy, at No.11. 

Lewis Capaldi's Someone You Loved continues to lead the way at the top, however; its sales of 20,116 bettering Calvin Harris & Rag'N'Bone Man's Giant (No.2, 19,904 sales) and Mabel's Don't Call Me Up (No.3, 13,352 sales).
