Years & Years challenged for UK No.1 album by Tame Impala

British electronica trio Years & Years are facing strong competition from Tame Impala on this week’s Official Albums Chart

Today's update has show that while Years & Years currently hold the lead with their debut album 'Communion', Tame Impala’s new record 'Currents' is behind them by just 2,000 combined sales. The Aussie rockers’ third album looks set to be their highest charting in the UK yet after 2012’s 'Lonerism', which peaked at Number 14. 

Elsewhere in today’s Top 5, Ed Sheeran’s 'x' drops a place to 3, James Bay’s 'Chaos and the Calm' is at 4, and Sam Smith’s 'In The Lonely Hour' is at 5.

Nick Jonas is currently inside the Top 10 at No.8 with his new self-titled solo album, and U.S. singer-songwriter Jason Isbell is almost certain to crack the UK Top 40 for the first time this week with his fifth album 'Something More Than Free' (No.10). 

Former X Factor finalist Andrea Faustini is currently just outside today’s Top 10 at No.11 with debut album 'Kelly'. Further down the tally, Rod Stewart’s 2008 album 'Some Guys Have All The Luck' leaps from 49 to 20, and Will Young’s '85% Proof' rebounds 21 places to 39.
