LMC To Hold On To Top spot

LMC look set to retain the top-spot in the UK singles chart on Sunday with 'Take Me To The Clouds Above'.

The track, which is half comprised of the U2 classic 'With Or Without You', will notch-up its second consecutive week at number one, barring some kind of miracle.

While Kelis looks like continuing her refusal to let go of the number two spot, the week's highest new entry is set to come a bit further down the top five in the shape of 'Here 4 One' by those Blazin Squad boys.

Outside the top ten, new entries are destined for Funeral For A Friend, Von Blondies, Stranglers and Junior Jack Ft Robert Smith.

In the album chart, Katie Melua's 'Call Off The Search' looks likely to hold strong at number one despite a quartet of new entries hot on her heels.

Lostprophets' 'Start Something', Leann Rimes' 'The Best Of', Incubus' 'A Crow Left Of The Murder' and Snow Patrol's 'Final Straw' are all heading for top five entries yet none of them seem likely to dethrone Melua.

Scissor Sisters are also heading for a new entry further down the top ten with their self-titled LP.
