With “Now and Then" (Apple Corps), The Beatles will claim their first U.K. Official Singles #1 in 54 years. Over on Albums, Oasis heads for the top.

At the halfway mark, “Now and Then” is outselling the rest of the singles chart Top 5 combined. The song could become The Beatles’ 18th U.K. #1 single, the first since “The Ballad of John and Yoko” in 1969.

The track debuted at #42 in the U.K. last week based on just 10 hours of sales but is expected to jump 41 places.

Elsewhere, BTS member Jung Kook could claim his highest solo peak with “Standing Next to You” (BIGHIT) on track to be this week’s highest new entry at #2.

Chase & Status, Hedex and ArrDee’s “Liquor & Cigarettes” (EMI) is up two places to #16, while Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves’ duet “I Remember Everything” (Interscope/Warner) is up five to #18.

On the U.K.’s Official Albums midweeks, a 25th anniversary reissue of The Masterplan (Big Brother) by Oasis could reach #1 for the first time.

Jung Kook looks set to claim the highest-charting solo album from a BTS member in the U.K. with GOLDEN (Interscope) starting at #3.

Cliff Richard’s Cliff With Strings—My Kinda Life (East West/Rhino) eyes #4, while Johnny Marr is #6 with Spirit Power: The Best of Johnny Marr (BMG). Caroline Polachek’s Desire, I Want To Turn Into You (Perpetual Novice) is #7 and Van Morrison has the nine slot with Accentuate The Positive (Exile Productions).
