Eminem retakes lead in albums battle

Eminem retakes lead in albums battle

Eminem has overtaken Paul Weller in the race to become the UK's No.1 album on Friday.

Weller's True Meanings took an early lead in its first few days on sale and has moved 18,847 copies so far according to the Official Charts Company. But Eminem's reigning chart-topper Kamikaze has wrested back control with sales of 20,302. 

Pale Waves' debut My Mind Makes Noises is another new entry at No.5, having moved 5,810 units, closely followed by Aphex Twin's Collapse at No.6 (5,522 sales). Also straight in the Top 10 is Orbital's Monsters Exist (No.8), along with Jungle's Forever (No.9) and 7 by David Guetta (No.10).

Promises (36,754 sales) by Calvin Harris & Sam Smith is well placed for another week at the top, holding a lead of more than 5,000 over Eastside (31,316) by Benny Blanco, Halsey & Khalid. I Love It by Kanye West & Lil Pump consolidates close behind at No.3, shifting 30,657 copies.
