The Greatest Showman OST surges back to albums summit

The Greatest Showman is all but assured of a return to the albums summit, as the smash hit soundtrack is currently outselling James Bay's Electric Light by 2:1.

The OST has moved 24,661 copies so far this week compared to Electric Light, which sits at No.2, having racked up 12,142 sales. Last week's No.1, Arctic Monkeys' Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, dips to No.3 on sales of 9,609.

There are three other new entries in the Top 10: And Justice For None by Five Finger Death Punch (No.5, 6,364 sales), Tell Me How You Really Feel by Courtney Barnett (No.7, 5,182 sales) and Love Yourself - Tear by BTS (No.9, 5,063 sales).

Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa are poised for another week as the UK's best-selling single, One Kiss shifting 33,989 copies to hold a comfortable lead over second placed No Tears Left To Cry by Ariana Grande, which has combined sales of 24,859. 

Drake's Nice For What (No.3, 24,540 sales), Anne-Marie's 2002 (No.4, 21,226 sales) and Answerphone (No.5, 17,190 sales) by Banks & Ranx and Ella Eyre ft Yxng Bane complete the Top 5, while Jess Glynne rises 13-6 with I'll Be There (17,020 sales).
