La Roux has been making the headlines this week for insulting Kanye West, and expressing her disdain toward undergroud music.
Elsewhere in the mid-week charts, Sam Smith climbs one place to no.3 with In The Lonely Hour, while Dolly Parton is down one place with her best of album Blue Smoke. George Ezra's debut album Wanted On Voyage is in at no.5
