Billie Eilish powers ahead in albums chart

Billie Eilish is hurtling towards her first No.1 with When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

The 17-year-old American's debut studio album is trouncing the competition in the Official Charts Company midweeks, selling 25,349 copies since its release on Friday.

Former chart-topper What A Time To Be Alive by Tom Walker is a distant second on 7,834 sales, ahead of The Greatest Showman OST (No.3, 7,114 sales) and George Ezra's Staying At Tamara's, which advances 5-4 after shifting a further 6,172 copies. Jack Savoretti's Singing To Strangers (5,922 sales) is at No.5 in its third week on the chart, while last week's No.1 Coming Home To You (5,147 sales) by Michael Ball dips to No.6.

Eilish also makes her presence felt in the singles chart, claiming three songs in the Top 20: Bad Guy (15,304 sales), which is new at No.3, Bury A Friend (10,566 sales), which jumps 20-6, and Wish You Were Gay (7,921 sales), which rebounds 42-16.

Lewis Capaldi still leads the way, however, as Someone You Loved (21,984 sales) continues to hold off the challenge of Giant (17,749 sales) by Calvin Harris & Rag'N'Bone Man. The Top 5 is completed by Tom Walker's Just You And I (No.4, 13,677 sales) and Jonas Brothers' Sucker (No.5, 11,792 sales).
