The Official Charts Company Midweek Sales Flash is in, and 2018 could be about to have a new fastest-selling album on its hands.
The 100th edition of Now… That’s What I Call Music goes straight in at the top of the compilations chart, with 104,729 sales so far. That leaves it within touching distance of the year’s current fastest seller, Now… 99. That collection sold 115,000 in week one back in March.
In the singles chart, Drake’s In My Feelings makes a positive start, with 31,512 sales placing it at No.1 ahead of George Ezra’s Shotgun (28,064 sales). Jonas Blue’s Rise (feat. Jack & Jack) has 15,049 sales and sits in third spot, ahead of 5 Seconds Of Summer’s Youngblood (13,650 sales) and Years & Years’ If You’re Over Me (12,364 sales).
Mamma Mia – Here We Go Again (13,158 sales) leads the way in the albums chart, and it’s a film soundtrack Top 2, with 2018 perennial The Greatest Showman (11,454 sales) in second place. Drake’s Scorpion (7,790 sales), George Ezra’s Staying At Tamara’s (7,485 sales) and Mama Mia’s original OST (3,680 sales) complete the Top 5.
