The soundtrack, which won Golden Globes for Best Film Score and Original Song (for City Of Stars) earlier this month, leads the way on today’s Official Chart Update, pushing last week’s Number 1, Pete Tong’s Classic House, down to 2.

New entries and high climbers Seven brand new albums are currently on course to land inside this week’s Official Albums Chart Top 40, led by Deaf Havana with their fourth album All These Countless Nights at Number 3 – a potential personal best for the British rock band. Elsewhere in the Top 10, former X Factor finalist Lucy Spraggan opens at 5 with her fourth album I Hope You Don’t Mind Me Writing, while US band Train are set for their fourth UK Top 10 with their 10th collection A Girl, A Bottle, A Boat (6). Further down, there are four more new entries: Culture by US hip hop group Migos (14), SweetSexySavage by Kehlani (23), Gods Of Violence by German thrash metal band Kreator (31), and Max Richter’s score for the narrative dance piece Woolf Works (40).
