Straight Outta Compton could be heading straight for Number 1, according to this week's Official Video Chart Update.

Universal Pictures' biographical drama about the rise and fall of hip-hop group N.W.A is currently leading the way as this week's best selling DVD/Blu-ray, with sales of almost 33,000 at the mid-week stage. 

The movie's soundtrack - released last Friday (January 8) - is also heading for the Top 40 on this week's Official Compilations Chart, currently at Number 39. The album features songs mainly by N.W.A, but also Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

Meanwhile, US action thriller No Escape, which stars Owen Wilson, LakeBell, and Pierce Brosnan, is new at Number 2 (13,000 sales), and BBC's Sherlock - The Abominable Bride debuts at 3 with sales of just over 10,000 at the halfway stage. 

Completing this week's Top 5 are Lorraine - Living To The Max at 4, and last week's chart-topper Davina - 5 Week Fit is at 5.
