George Michael set for posthumous No.1 album

George Michael is heading for a posthumous No.1, with the reissue of his Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1 album outselling its nearest rival by more than 2:1. 

The 1990 classic has sold 38,232 copies since its re-release last Friday to top the midweek charts. Niall Horan is his closest competitor; the One Direction star's debut solo LP Flicker has shifted 15,378 copies to date, according to the Official Charts Company.

Last week's No.1, Pink's Beautiful Trauma, is at No.3 (13,090 sales), while Liam Gallagher's As You Were drops two places to No.4 (8,399 sales). There are also Top 10 new entries for Krept & Konan's 7 Days (No.5, 5,691 sales) and 7 Nights (No.9, 4,049 sales), Jessie Ware's Glasshouse (No.6, 5,684 sales) and the deluxe reissue of The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead (No.8, 4850 sales).

In the singles chart, Post Malone's Rockstar looks set for another week at No.1 (16,325 sales). Camila Cabello's Havana holds at No.2 (13,932 sales), with Silence by Marshmello Ft Khalid leaping six places to No.3 (9,935 sales). Taylor Swift's Gorgeous is straight in at No.10 (8,466 sales), while Rita Ora's Anywhere and Liam Payne's Bedroom Floor are new entries at No.20 and No.25 respectively.
