Marcus Mumford is at #4 with his first release outside of Mumford & Sons, (self-titled) (Island), and Pink Floyd complete the list with a reissue of their 1977 album, Animals (Parlophone).

The Stranglers eye a Top 20 entry with a reissue of their 2006 set SuiteXVI (Coursegood) at #12, while Lissie looks set to score her fifth Top 20 with Carving Canyons (Lionboy Records) at #18.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, Rexha could claim her first #1 on Friday with David Guetta collaboration “I’m Good (Blue)” (Parlophone) rising one place.

This week’s highest new entry could be “PSYCHO” (Warner Music U.K.) by Anne-Marie and Aitch at #17. Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran’s “For My Hand” (Atlantic) looks set to break the Top 20 for the first time at #19.
