UPDATE: If you're going to buy Mylo Xyloto or buy it for someone else, now is the time to do it ahead of the UK album chart countdown on Sunday! The links posted by Anchorman are the cheapest around and are a good place to start! MX number one again? It's down to you...
Coldplay are battling with the UK’s leading solo artist (Adele) to top the UK artist albums chart this weekend with just several dozen sales separating the two artists. Adele's latest album 21 remains in the lead in pursuit of a 21st week at number one, but Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto was trailing it by only around 60 sales up to the end of trading on Thursday, according to Official Charts Company figures.
Little more than 1,100 sales further behind is Atlantic act Ed Sheeran’s + in third position, while Elektra/Atlantic’s Bruno Mars’ Doo-Wops & Hooligans is fourth in the week to date. Rhino’s Chris Isaak rounds off the top five with a new entry at five with Beyond The Sun, which is set to become the American’s highest-charting album in the UK since Wicked Game in 1991.
More discussion on the 21/Mylo Xyloto battle is at the Coldplay sales updates thread in the Coldplay forum now. The full midweek singles and albums charts are on musicweek.com.
Global Talent/Polydor act Cover Drive’s newly-issued Twilight is comprehensively in charge of the singles market, being around 18,000 sales ahead up to the end of business on Thursday of closest challenger Titanium by Positiva/Virgin’s David Guetta featuring Sia. The Island/Lava Jessie J single Domino, which topped the chart for a second week last Sunday, is now third.
