Busted lead frantic chart battle with Half Way There

The Official Charts Company Midweek Sales Flash is in, and Busted are leading a battle for albums chart glory that looks like it could go down to the wire. 

Busted’s Half Way There has 11,056 sales so far, and is ahead of two fellow new entries: The Specials’ Encore (10,489 sales) and Ian Brown’s Ripples (10,419 sales). The Greatest Showman (6,224 sales) and Claire Richards’ solo debut My Wildest Dreams (4,855 sales) complete the Top 5.

Fredo’s Third Avenue (4,539 sales), White Lies’ Five (3,820 sales) and Within Temptation’s Resist (3,677 sales) are also new to the Top 10.

In the singles chart, Ariana Grande is out in front with 21,376 sales for 7 Rings. Sam Smith & Normani’s Dancing With A Stranger (15,585 sales), Calvin Harris & Rag’N’Bone Man’s Giant (14,486 sales) and Ava Max’s Sweet But Psycho (14,392 sales) complete the Top 5. Fredo's All I Ever Wanted (feat. Dave) is new at No.13 thanks to 5,903 sales.
