Dublin-based rockers Kodaline (pictured left) have shot straight in at No.1 this afternoon on the midweek albums chart update with their debut record, 'In A Perfect World'. 

Surprisingly, their first offering has beaten Kanye West's highly publicised 'Yeezus' to the punch and is currently 1,800 ahead of the rapper's new offering, which entered the UK Top 40 at No.3.

Hans Zimmer's 'Superman: Man of Steel' soundtrack has made an appearance at No.9 following the movie's official release, J. Cole's 'Born Sinner' has debuted at 6, and 'Kveikur' by Sigur Ros is the other Top 10 new entry at No.5. 

American rapper Mac Miller has made an impact on the chart today (June 19) with 'Watching Movies With The Sound Off' at 39, KT Tunstall's 'Invisible Empire/Crescent Moon' has fallen a considerable 23 positions to No.37, and The Script's 'Number 3' has climbed 4 spots to sit at No.24.
