Jess Glynne's I Cry When I Laugh storms ahead in Official Albums Chart race

Jess Glynne’s incredible year looks set to continue as her debut album I Cry When I Laugh takes an early lead on this week’s Official Albums Chart.

At the halfway stage of the chart week, combined sales for the the singer-songwriter’s first record are more than double her closest competitor, last week’s leader Cilla Black’s The Very Best Of.

Glynne’s debut LP includes her five Number 1 singles Rather Be (with Clean Bandit), My Love (with Route 94), Hold My Hand, Not Letting Go (with Tinie Tempah), and Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself as well as Top 10s Right Here and Real Love (with Clean Bandit).
