Youngster Jake Bugg looks set to keep Leona Lewis from getting her third number one album - with his self-titled debut.

The 18-year-old took an early lead on Monday and shows no sign of giving it up any time soon.

His album Jake Bugg is still at number one on the iTunes chart, despite competition not just from one Leona Lewis album but actually from two - the X Factor star has both regular and deluxe versions of Glassheart on the charts.

The mid-week update shows that Glassheart is 4,000 copies behind Bugg, putting Leona at No.2. Mumford & Sons have fallen to third place with Babel, and spots four and five are taken by Bat For Lashes and Muse respectively.

Bugg's 1960s musical stylings are a refreshing change from the current young stars - think less Justin Bieber and One Direction and more Johnny Cash and The Beatles.

On the singles chart, Calvin Harris is on course to collect his third number one UK single as a lead artist with 'Sweet Nothing' - a collaboration with Florence Welch. 

Swedish House Mafia are at number two with 'Don't You Worry Child' and the love it or hate it sensation of 'Gangnam Style' is holding steady at number three.
