Ben Howard eyes Top 3 finish for Noonday Dream

Ben Howard eyes Top 3 finish for Noonday Dream

The Official Charts Company Midweek Sales Flash is in, and Ben Howard looks set to hit the Top 3 with new album Noonday Dream.

Howard’s third record has 12,169 sales for the week so far, which is enough to put it ahead of Kanye West’s new release, Ye, (10,668 sales), but some way behind The Greatest Showman OST. With 27,003 units shifted, the soundtrack is on for another week at No.1. Staying At Tamara’s (10,635 sales) by George Ezra and Snow Patrol’s Wildness (9,094 sales) complete the Top 5.

Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa’s One Kiss (30,765 sales) continues to monopolise the singles chart. Jess Glynne’s I’ll Be There is its closest contender with 23,101 sales, while Anne-Marie’s 2002 is at No.3 with 22,464 sales. Drake’s Nice For What (20,401 sales) and Ariana Grande’s No Tears Left To Cry (19,322 sales) complete the Top 5.
