Mid-week charts show that Paramore are set for a No.1 spot with their latest studio album.

Their self-titled record is currently in competition with Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience, and is outselling it three to one - which could see an end to Timberlake's current three week chart reign.

Pink's latest album, The Truth About Love, is on course for No.3 and Imagine Dragons are currently at No.4 with Night Visions. The top five is rounded out by Stone Sour's House of Gold & Bones - Part Two.

James Blake's latest album, Overgrown, looks likely to make it to No 6 despite the star telling fans that he 'doesn't care' if they download it illegally, and adding, "Why wouldn't you?"

In the singles chart, it looks as though Duke Dumont will continue to hold onto the No 1 spot with 'Need U (100%)', a collaboration with A*M*E. Pink's 'Just Give Me A Reason' is at No 2, with Bastille's 'Pompeii' at No 3. Nelly's 'Hey Porsche' and Justin Timberlake's 'Mirrors' are at Nos 3 and 4, respectively.

The Wizard of Oz cast version of 'Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead' has made it to No 10, due in part to a Facebook campaign aiming to get the track to No 1 after Margaret Thatcher's death.

As of midnight on Tuesday (9 April), the song had sold 10,600 copies and then needed only 5,000 more sales in order to gain a Top 3 placing at the mid-week stage. Bookies have slashed odds of the song hitting No 1 to 6/1.
