Bullet For My Valentine land at No.1 on UK albums chart update

Welsh heavy metal band Bullet For My Valentine could be set to score their first Official Albums Chart Number 1 this week with their fifth studio album, 'Venom'.

If its sales momentum continues, the LP – featuring singles 'No Way Out', 'You Want A Battle (Here’s A War)' and 'Army Of Noise' – will outdo the group’s current best-performing albums 'Scream Aim Fire' and 'Fever', which both peaked at No.5 in 2008 and 2010 respectively.

'Venom' is currently just over 1,000 copies ahead of its nearest competitor, Cilla Black’s 'The Very Best Of' (No.2). Black's album re-entered the Top 40 at No.14 two weeks ago following her death, and is now heading for a new all-time peak.

Current chart-topper Dr. Dre’s 'Compton' slides two places to No.3 today, followed by James Bay’s 'Chaos and the Calm' at No.4, and Ed Sheeran’s 'x' at 5.

Rock group Neck Deep are set to make their Official Chart debut this week with second studio album 'Life’s Not Out To Get You' at No.7, while U.S. blues outfit Vintage Trouble are on course for their highest charting album to date with '1 Hopeful Rd.' at 10.

Former Gallows and Pure Love frontman Frank Carter is set to return to the Official Charts this week with new outfit Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes’ debut 'Blossom' at No.13, as Soulfly are heading for a second UK Top 40 with 'Archangel' (27).

Whitney Houston’s 'The Ultimate Collection' heads back to the Top 40, landing at No.28 this evening, while American singer-songwriter Melanie Martinez’s 'Cry Baby' enters at No.29. Finally, Abba’s 'Gold – Greatest Hits' is at No.34, Neil Diamond’s 'All-Time Greatest Hits' is at No.38, and Barbra Streisand’s 'Guilty' is set to re-enter this week’s Top 40 at No.37.
