The second album from US rapper Post Malone is on course to dethrone The Greatest Showman OST at the top of albums chart.
Beerbongs & Bentleys has charged out of the blocks with 16,696 combined sales, more than 3,000 copies ahead of the film soundtrack, which has moved 13,605 units according to the midweek sales flash from the Official Charts Company.
Blossoms' sophomore LP Cool Like You is a new entry at No.3 (13,571 sales) and Anne-Marie is straight in at No.4 with debut album Speak Your Mind (12,939 sales), while Dirty Computer by Janelle Monae (4,734 sales) and For Now by DMA's (3,497 sales) also crack the Top 10 at No.6 and No.7 respectively.
Post Malone has also made an impact in the otherwise largely static singles chart, posting two new entries: Paranoid (No.10, 9,040 sales) and Better Now (No.11, 8,403 sales) alongside the previously released Psycho, ft. Ty Dolla Sign, which jumps 10-7 (11,423 sales).
The Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa collaboration One Kiss still heads the field (25,842 sales), holding a comfortable lead over No.2 No Tears Left To Cry (19,984 sales) by Ariana Grande. Anne-Marie's 2002, meanwhile, climbs 8-5 (12,114 sales).
