U.K. MIDWEEKS: BUBLÉ, GRENNAN LOOKING JOLLY

It's likely to be festive at the top of the Official U.K. Charts later this week, with Michael Bublé's Christmas and Tom Grennan's "It Can't Be Christmas" vying for #1 on the respective albums and singles tallies.

Bublé (pictured) would enjoy a seventh nonconsecutive week at the top if Christmas (Reprise) holds firm. Sabrina Carpenter's current #1, Short n' Sweet, will fall back to #2, while her Island labelmate Chapell Roan is holding at #3 with The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

Meanwhile, the release of SZA's S.O.S. deluxe edition, Lana, helps the RCA parent album rocket 28 spots back to #4. Billie Eilish's HIT ME HARD AND SOFT (Darkroom/Interscope) will nudge forward from #6 to #5.

Fontaines D.C.'s Romance is on track to climb 15-9, while Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black (#32) and Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die (#34) are likely to rebound back into the Top 40.

On the singles list, Grennan is locked in a close race with the current chart-topper, WHAM!’s "Last Christmas." Right behind are Mariah Carey’s "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (#3), Laufey's "Christmas Magic" (which shoots 19-4) and Brenda Lee’s "Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree" (#5).

Kelly Clarkson's "Underneath the Tree" is poised for a new high of #8, which could be her first Top 10 in nearly a decade, and José Feliciano’s iconic "Feliz Navidad" is on the cusp of its first-ever Top 20 appearance as it rises 21-19.
