Other new arrivals in the Top 5 are Sleep Token’s Take Me Back To Eden (Spinefarm) at #3 and Ghost’s covers EP, Phantomime (Loma Vista), at #4.

Mirror to the Sky (InsideOutMusic) by Yes has started at #6, while Paul Simon’s Seven Psalms (Owl Records/Sony) is #9.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, “Say Yes To Heaven” (Polydor) could become Del Rey’s first solo Top 10 single since 2012, starting at #6.

“Miracle” (Columbia) by Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding looks set to remain at #1 for a seventh consecutive week.

Irish dance singer Jazzy is heading for her first Top 10 with “Giving Me” (Polydor) rising to #10. Rudimental with Charlotte Plank and Vibe Chemistry are new at #17 with “Dancing is Healing” (Room Two Records).
