Leona Lewis Set To Topple JLS On UK Album Chart

November 18, 2009
Leona Lewis Set To Topple JLS On UK Album ChartLeona Lewis looks certain to top the album chart this weekend with he second long-player 'Echo'.

The X Factor winner has already sold 13,000 more copies more than last week's number one – JLS' eponymous debut.

Other albums vying for a place in the top 10 are Them Crooked Vultures' self-titled debut, Stereophonics' 'Keep Calm and Carry On', 50 Cent's 'Before I Self Destruct' and Queen's latest best-of package 'Absolute Greatest'.

Over in the singles chart, the X Factor finalists are dead certs for number one after shifting 80,000 copies of their Michael Jackson cover 'You Are Not Alone' on the opening day alone.

All proceeds from the track go to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
