Iconic singer Kate Bush has taken an impressive early lead over Adele in the UK charts so far this week with her new offering, 'Director's Cut'. 

The album comprises of new recordings of the 'Hounds of Love' star's existing repertoire of tracks, and sold 17,562 copies as of last night (May 16) whereas Adele's '21' only shifted 14,645.

Music Week reveals that despite the evident lead, Adele could still remain at the top because of her phenomenal continued success with her sophomore album as it has already spent 15 weeks at No.1. 

From 11pm tonight, May 17, Mark Radcliffe's Music Club on BBC Radio 2 will feature an in-depth interview with Bush and you can listen to a recent Radio 4 segment and chat with her here:
