George Ezra chases double chart glory

George Ezra chases double chart glory

The Official Charts Company Midweek Sales Flash is in, an George Ezra has made a strong start in the albums chart.

Ezra has 37,417 sales for second album Staying At Tamara’s, and could become the first artist to dethrone The Greatest Showman OST from top spot this year. The soundtrack has 14,651 sales for the week so far. Behind those two are: Rick Parfitt’s Over And Out (5,767 sales), Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (4,607 sales) and Jack White’s Boarding House Reach (4,567 sales).

Rudimental are eyeing a change in the singles chart, too, with These Days currently in top spot thanks to 15,611 sales. Ezra’s Paradise is at No.2 with 14,761 sales, so keep an eye out for a chart double from the Columbia artist. Portugal The Man’s Feel It Still (13,343 sales), Marshmello & Anne-Marie’s Friends (11,979 sales) and Lil Dicky’s Freaky Friday (10,295 sales) complete the Top 5.
