The race for this week’s U.K. Official Albums #1 is a battle between Skindred, The Sherlocks and Cian Ducrot. Over on singles, Dua Lipa might knock “Sprinter” from the top.

At today’s halfway point, Skindred are leading the albums charge with Smile (Earache). However, with less than 500 sales separating the Top 3, the top spot is all to play for. The Sherlocks are at #2 with People Like Me & You (Teddyboy), followed by the debut album from Ducrot, Victory (Polydor), at #3.

The fifth solo set from Miles Kane, One Man Band (Modern Sky UK), is #4, while the first new studio album in 13 years from N-Dubz, Timeless (EMI), is #5.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, Lipa’s Barbie track, “Dance the Night” (Warner Records) is just over 1k sales behind long-running #1, “Sprinter” (Live Yours/Neighbourhood) by Dave and Central Cee. Can it edge ahead by Friday?

Billie Eilish’s Barbie contribution, “What Was I Made For” (Interscope), is another potential chart-topper, sitting close behind Lipa at #3.

Nathan Dawe, Joel Corry & Ella Henderson could re-enter the Top 10 this Friday on “0800 Heaven” (Warner Music U.K.) at #7, while Becky Hill and Chase & Status’s “Disconnect” (Polydor) is looking to jump up to #9.

Following its Top 20 debut last week, Calvin Harris & Sam Smith’s “Desire” (Sony) could lift eight to #10, while “Unhealthy” (Asylum) by Anne-Marie f/Shania Twain is up seven to #15.
