Little Mix look likely to land a second straight week at No.1 on the UK singles chart.

The girl group launched to the top of the pile last week with their new track 'Shout Out To My Ex'.

The Official Charts Company confirmed on Monday (October 24) in its midweek update that the band are 21,000 units ahead at No.1.

The rest of the midweek top five sees no change from last week's chart rundown.

James Arthur is No.2 with 'Say You Won't Let Go', Chainsmokers are No.3 with 'Closer' and The Weeknd's 'Star Boy' is at No.4.

Hailee Steinfeld stays put at No.5 with 'Starving'.

Clean Bandit are a new entry at No.7 with 'Rockabye', while Shawn Mendes' 'Mercy' is up 20 spots to No.20.
