Kylie Minogue and Little Mix are locked in a battle for the top spot on this week's albums chart, according to midweek data from the Official Charts Company.

The Aussie pop princess is currently leading the way with her 15th studio album DISCO, which is 2,200 chart sales ahead of the girl group's sixth release Confetti.

Dame Shirley Bassey also finds herself in the mix towards the top of the chart and is tracking at three with her farewell album I Owe It All To You, which will be her highest-charting album in more than 40 years if it holds course.

The current number one, Ariana Grande's Positions, is down to five after 72 hours of sales, while Sam Smith's Love Goes drops two places to four.

Elsewhere, Welsh classical singer Aled Jones is at eight with Blessings, which is set to be his fifth Top 10 album.
