George Ezra still on top as singles race intensifies

The Official Charts Company Midweek Sales Flash is in, and George Ezra is ahead by a whisker in the singles race.

Ezra’s Shotgun has sold 29,889 copies so far this week, while Calvin Harris & Sam Smith collaboration Promises has 29,495 sales. The battle for No.1 looks set to go to the wire, but Benny Blanco, Halsey & Khalid appear comfortable in third place with 28,864 sales of Eastside. Drake’s In My Feelings (24,832 sales) and Loud Luxury’s Body (feat. Brando, 24,290 sales) complete the Top 5.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again leads the way in the albums chart, with 14,336 sales so far enough to restrict The Greatest Showman OST (12,802 sales) to second place. Ariana Grande’s Sweetener (10,380 sales), George Ezra’s Staying At Tamara’s (6,667 sales) and Interpol’s Marauder (6,009 sales) complete the Top 5.
