Liam Payne nears Top 10 singles finish while Harry Styles chases Ed Sheeran in the albums chart

Liam Payne remains on course to match his One Direction bandmates and hit the Top 10 with his debut solo single. 

As things stand, Payne’s Strip That Down (feat. Quavo) has sold 30,390 copies, which puts it at No.3. If it holds the position, Payne will take third place in the 1D solo debut battle stakes. Zayn Malik and Harry Styles both reached No.1 with Pillowtalk and Sign Of The Times respectively, Louis Tomlinson charted at No.2 with Just Hold On and Niall Horan reached No.9 with This Town. 

Elsewhere in the singles chart, Lucas Fonsi & Daddy Yankee remain at No.1 with Despacito (73,394 sales), DJ Khaled’s I’m The One (34,125 sales) is at No.2 and Shawn Mendes’ There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back is behind Payne at No.4 on 26,627 sales. Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson close out the Top 5 with Symphony (25,090 sales).

Harry Styles has made up ground on Ed Sheeran in the albums chart, his self-titled debut (16,535 sales) trails ÷ (23,207 sales) at No.1. Behind them both, Linkin Park’s One More Light (14,319 sales) is at No.3, with Rag’N’Bone Man’s Human (13,752 sales) chasing hard at No.4. Erasure’s World Be Gone (8.590 sales) completes the Top 5.
