Nina Nesbitt could be heading for a debut Official Albums Chart Number 1 this Sunday, but could the impact of tonight’s BRIT Awards show threaten the Scottish singer-songwriter’s crown?
It looks like Nina Nesbitt won’t have to take too many Selfies this week – all eyes, and cameras, will be on her if she manages to score her very first Number 1 album by the final whistle this Sunday.
The Edinburgh-born singer is currently out in front on today’s Official Albums Chart Update with debut album Peroxide – featuring singles Stay Out, which reached Number 21 in 2013, and the aforementioned Selfies, which entered the Official Singles Chart at 40 last week.
However it is by no means a dead cert – fewer than 5,000 copies separate the whole of the Top 20 midweek, and with tonight’s inevitably star-studded BRITs performances to come from the likes of Beyoncé, Rudimental, Bastille, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Arctic Monkeys, Lorde and Disclosure, anything could happen between now and Sunday. Full post-event sales impact analysis will follow later this week on OfficialCharts.com.

Last week’s chart-topper from Katy B, Little Red, slips one place to Number 2; London Grammar’s If You Wait is a non-mover at Number 3 and Ellie Goulding’s Halcyon drops two places to Number 4. Beyoncé’s self-titled album rounds off our Top 5.
New Entries
New Yorkers We Are The In Crowd look set to score their first Official Albums Chart Top 10 with new album Weird Kids at Number 7. US country rock band Blackberry Smoke also look on track to get their first ever entry on the Official Albums Chart – The Whippoorwill currently stands at Number 15.
Veteran folk group Oysterband are on course for their first Top 40 album, with Diamonds new at Number 24 in today’s Update. Classical guitarist Miloš Karadaglič is new in at Number 36 midweek, this time with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Aranjuez.
And finally, US metallers, Issues, complete the Official Chart Update Top 40 albums with their self-titled debut album (40) .
The Official Albums Chart Update Top 40 is as follows. The Official Albums Chart Top 100 will be posted in full on Sunday at 7pm.
