Pink overtakes Vampire Weekend in albums battle

Pink has dented Vampire Weekend's hopes of a first UK No.1 album after Hurts 2B Human edged ahead in this week's chart race. 

The reigning chart-topper, Hurts 2B Human (12,143 sales), has overtaken Vampire Weekend's early pace-setter Father Of The Bride (12,074 sales) in the latest midweeks, according to the Official Charts Company.

Billie Eilish's When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (7,696 sales) is a distant third, with End Of Suffering (7,358 sales) by Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes a new entry at No.4. The Greatest Showman OST completes the Top 5, selling 5,448 copies.

There are two other new entries in the Top 10: Renaissance Men (No.7, 7,676 sales) by The Wildhearts and Today Was A Good Day (No.10, 3,955 sales) by Lucy Spraggan. 

Stormzy has a fight on his hands as he bids for a second week at No.1 in the singles chart, as Vossi Bop (49,171 sales) holds a slender lead over Lil Nas X's Old Town Road (48,179 sales), which is seeking to return to the summit. 

Lewis Capaldi has two songs in the Top 5, with Someone You Loved (39,463 sales) rebounding 4-3 and Hold Me While You Wait (36,202) straight in at No.4. Billie Eilish advances 6-5 with Bad Guy (31,782 sales), while Shawn Mendes' If I Can't Have You (22,785) is new at No.9.
