Ellie Goulding is currently on course to spend her third consecutive week at No.1 with her single 'Burn', although her nearest rival, 'Wake Me Up' by Avicii is only 4,500 copies behind at No.2 on the singles midweeks, so could reclaim the No.1 spot this week. 'Sonnentanz' by Klangkarussell remains at No.3 while 'Lost Generation' by Rizzle Kicks enters at No.4. The Cedric Gervais remix of Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness' hold the No.5 spot for another week.
Other new entries come from Shane Filan, whose single 'Everything To Me' marks his first solo sucess since Westlife split. The 1975 enter at No.26 with 'Sex' and 'Things We Lost In The First' by Bastille enters the Top 40 at No.38. Olly Murs' 'Right Place Right Time' enters at No.39.
