Adele album heading for number one
Soul singer Adele is poised to top the UK album chart this weekend with her debut LP.

According to midweek chart data, her 19 album is selling nearly twice as many copies as its nearest rival, Scream Aim Fire by Welsh rockers Bullet For my Valentine.

The young Londoner recently topped the Sound of 2008 list, a music industry poll in which critics were asked to name their favourite new act for the coming year.

'Chasing Pavements', her current single, has been at number two in the UK singles chart for the past fortnight.
