Their album sold 520,000 copies last week and therefore scored the biggest first week sale in 13 years.

However, there is no chart battle quite like that of the boybands and JLS and Westlife certainly aren't giving up without a fight.

X Factor runners-up JLS' second album Outta This World is on course to take the second place closely followed by Irish boyband Westlife's new entry with Gravity, according to the Official Charts Company.

Meanwhile, Susan Boyle's second solo album The Gift is also gracing the Official Album Chart's top five having dropped down one place to number four, as is Rihanna's high-flying Loud album which has fallen three places to take the fifth spot.

The Official Charts will be announced by Reggie Yates between 4pm and 7pm on Sunday.
