An all-new Top 5 are battling for the Number 1 spot on this Friday’s Official Albums Chart.

Just 3,000 chart sales separate the five new entries on today’s post-Bank Holiday Official Chart Update, meaning that the Number 1 could be anyone’s for the taking.

Metallica lead the way currently with their live album S&M2, the week’s best seller on physical formats so far. The US heavy metal group could score their first UK Number 1 since 2008’s Death Magnetic and fourth in total with the collection, out in-front by just shy of 2,000 chart sales.

 

Rounding out the midweek Top 5 is Katy Perry with her fifth album Smile. The US popstar is currently at Number 5 and heading for her fourth consecutive Top 10 collection.

Kats should move to trend BUY SMILE UK. 

Oh nvm, in the article it says she's 3k behind Metallica and 1k behind #2. Hopefully she can snatch something higher, in a competitive week like this it might as well go north of 10k with #5

Looking stable

In the United Kingdom, Witness debuted at number 6 on the UK Albums Chart, where it became Perry's third top 10 album, following Teenage Dream and Prism. According to the Official Charts Company, it opened with 16,153 album-equivalent units in the nation

At least she's consistent.

Not bad for an indie act 

Smile is currently at No.6 on iTunes and No.4 on App Music. Unless it is slaying on Spotify. Otherwise, it is not that easy to score No.1 ultimately. 

Good, which is a sign of stability

she deserves better

Excellent for her standards  

 

But that is just a midday, I'm sure the album will drop

 

Witness debuted at #6 so this is good i suppose 

YES! Top five! I hope she can pull it off. This is a slight uptick from the last estimate (which I believe was at 6) 

With some gimmicks she can get the #1 (an Ellie tea)

I wonder what the witness midweeks were

Top 5, amazing

Not too bad tbh, I guess we’ll see where it holds up at the end of this week

Extremely far from the top 3 which a very good sign
