Arcade Fire are set for their second successive number one album in the UK, with their latest release ‘Reflektor‘ on course for the top spot according to midweek figures.
As it stands, the Canadian band are comfortably outselling last week’s chart topper, Katy Perry‘s ‘Prism‘, as they look to follow up the commercial success of previous outing, 2010’s ‘The Suburbs‘. They are due in the UK next month for a selection of low-key gigs after a similar run of shows in the US throughout October.
Elsewhere, Union J, Lorde, Matt Cardle and Linkin Park are all heading for new entries inside the Top 10, while Arctic Monkeys‘ ‘AM‘ record is holding firm at #6.
