Lil Nas X is in pole position for Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart as his debut album Montero leads the midweek Official Chart Update.

The US rapper’s first full-length album was the most downloaded and streamed album of the past weekend. The collection, which follows his 2019 EP 7 features the Number 1 single Montero (Call Me By Your Name) and Top 5 hit Industry Baby.

But with less than 2,500 chart sales separating the Top 5, the Number 1 result is far from a foregone conclusion. Less than 400 sales behind at Number 2 is Bob Dylan with Springtime in New York – Bootleg 16.

The collection is leading on physical sales, and is on track to be the legendary performer’s 41st Top 10 album. Drake holds firm at Number 3 with former chart topper
