Harry Styles is gunning for Ed Sheeran at the top of the singles chart

The Official Charts Midweek Sales Flash is in.

Big news in the singles chart this week, as Harry Styles’ debut solo single is gearing up to dethrone Ed Sheeran from top spot. Sign Of The Times sits at No.1 on 29,695 sales, some way in front of Sheeran’s Galway Girl at No.2 on 14,171. Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson are at No.3 with Symphony (13,988 sales) while current No.1, Sheeran’s Shape Of You (12,790 sales), slips to No.4. The Chainsmokers and Coldplay complete the Top 5 with Something Just Like This (9,190 sales).

There’s no such upheaval at the top of the albums chart, with Sheeran’s ÷ still at No.1 having sold 30,111 units. Rag’N’Bone Man’s Human is at No.2 on 11,383 sales. The Chainsmokers are a new entry at No.3 with Memories – Do Not Open (8,604 sales), with Deep Purple’s Infinite debuting at No.4 (6,918 sales). Take That’s Wonderland is at No.5 with 6,725 sales.
