Eminem's River consolidates at the chart summit

Eminem's River consolidates at the chart summit

Eminem remains on course to end the six-week reign of Ed Sheeran's Perfect at the top of the singles chart.

River, which features Sheeran, has sold 26,984 copies so far this week to hold a healthy lead over the chasing pack. Barking (19,963 sales) by Ramz advances 4-2, while Perfect (17,150 sales) dips to No.3 in the Official Charts midweeks. I Miss You by Clean Bandit Ft Julia Michaels (5-4) and Finesse by Bruno Mars & Cardi B (7-5) make up the rest of the Top 5. 

Big movers include Never Be The Same (29-7) by Camila Cabello and IDGAF (38-18) by Dua Lipa. Let Me Down by Jorja Smith Ft Stormzy is the highest new entry at No.34.

The Greatest Showman OST looks sure to claim a second week at the albums summit on the back of 26,969 sales, while Camila Cabello's debut LP Camila is straight in at No.2, having moved 16,557 units. There are also new entries in the Top 20 for Vale by Black Veil Brides (No.15, 2,906 sales) and Burning Cities by Skids (No.17, 2,779 sales).
