It's one of the closest Christmas No.1 battles in years, as Ava Max's Sweet But Psycho holds a slender lead over Ladbaby's We Built This City and Ariana Grande's Thank U, Next.
Sweet But Psycho has sold 32,765 copies so far this week, according to the Official Charts Company's latest midweeks, to edge ahead of new entry We Built This City (No.2, 30,156 sales) and reigning chart-topper Thank U, Next (No.3, 29,695 sales). Grande is also straight in at No.7 with Imagine (19,874 sales).
Perennial festive favourite All I Want For Christmas Is You (21,401 sales) by Mariah Carey moves up a place to No.4, with Mark Ronson ft. Miley Cyrus' Nothing Breaks Like A Heart rounding off the Top 5 (20,628 sales). Two other vintage Christmas songs make the Top 10 – Wham!'s Last Christmas (No.8, 19,232 sales) and Fairytale Of New York (No.9, 16,838 sales).
The all-conquering Greatest Showman OST is on course to be the No.1 album, selling another 42,405 units to hold a comfortable lead over second placed Love by Michael Buble, which has moved 36,957.
Staying At Tamara's by George Ezra is at No.3 (35,192 sales), Unchained Melodies by Roy Orbison and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is at No.4 with sales of 32,752 and Bruce Springsteen's Springsteen On Broadway is a new entry at No.5 (29,402 sales).
