Whitesnake compilation The Blues Album (Rhino) sits at #9 today, and Yorkshire band The Reytons are at #10 with the EP May Seriously Harm You and Others Around You (Scruff of the Neck).

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, Henderson and Grennan start at #17 with “Let’s Go Home Together” (Major Toms/Asylum), the most-downloaded track of the week so far.

Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” (Polydor) looks like it will stay at #1 for a seventh week, while a number of new tracks could hit new heights, including Tiesto’s “The Business” (Atlantic) at #4, Riton x Nightcrawlers f/Mufasa & Hypeman’s “Friday” (Ministry of Sound) at #5 and ATB, Topic & A7S’ “Your Love” (EMI) at #14.
