Arcade Fire surge ahead in the albums chart

Arcade Fire are heading their third consecutive UK No.1 album, with their latest LP outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined.

Everything Now has sold 26,564 copies in its first few days on sale, according to the Official Midweek Charts, well ahead of its closest rival, Ed Sheeran's ÷, on 5,871. Alice Cooper is a new entry at No.3 with Paranormal (4,903 sales), while three Pet Shop Boys reissues - Nightlife, Release and Fundamental - chart at No.10, 11 and 12 respectively. 

In the singles chart, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee's Despacito looks set to continue its reign at the top, shifting 13,354 units so far this week to take a healthy lead over Calvin Harris' Feels (9,134 sales). Subeme La Radio by Enrique Iglesias, meanwhile, leaps 16-4 on the back of 6,861 sales. Malibu by Miley Cyrus also surges 21-13 (3,523 sales).
