Lorde could claim her first-ever Official Number 1 album with Virgin this week.

Bruce Springsteen hopes to net a 25th solo Top 10 record with Tracks II: The Lost Albums (2). Featuring 82 previously unreleased songs, the collection comprises seven unheard Springsteen albums made between 1983-2018.

Rounding out the midweek Top 10 are rock legends Motörhead, who approach a fifth Top 10 with their 1976 ‘lost’ album The Manticore Tapes (10).

Lewis is also on course to claim this week’s Official Number 1 single with Survive.
BC Camplight, also known as New Jersey-born, Manchester-based songwriter and pianist Brian Christinzio, could sink his second UK Top 40 LP, and a personal best, with seventh studio album A Sober Conversation (20).
