Kanye West's controversial Yeezus album is jostling for the No.1 spot with UK newcomers Kodaline in the midweek charts.
Both Kodaline's In A Perfect World, and Kanye's Yeezus are new entries to the charts, and in figures published today, Kodaline has taken the No.1 spot, knocking Black Sabbath's 13 off the top spot.
Yeezus is just 1,800 copies behind (at No.3) - but was only released on Tuesday of this week. This comes after its leak on Friday, which could have affected sales, but doesn't seem to have had an impact. Sabbath's album is currently separating the two, holding onto No.2
Rod Stewart's Time is now No.4 and Sigur Ros' Kveikur is No.5.
Daft Punk's Random Access Memories drops to No.8.

In the Singles midweek chart Robin Thicke's three week reign at No.1 continues with 'Blurred Lins', while Jason DeRulo is at No.2 with his latest release. Dizzie Rascal and Robbie Willams' collaboration 'Goin' Crazy' enter at No.4.
Other noteable appearances include Remix Junkies' 'I Don't Care I Love It' - a cover of Icona Pop's international hit at No.20, and Kesha's 'Crazy Kids' enters the Top 40 at No.37 with new release 'Crazy Kids'.
