FIVE'S SOLID CHART ADVANTAGE

The boyband are holding off So Solid Crew and new entry Nelly Furtado...

FIVE are on course to remain at Number One this week, following the publication of midweek sales figures.

Their single 'Let's Dance', which is already at the top of the charts, was the best selling single in the UK on Monday (August 20), according to a chart expert at the Virgin Megastore in London.

If sales continue at this rate, the boyband will beat off competition from So Solid Crew, whose '21 Seconds' single has seen a resurgence in sales, and is currently at Number Two.

Elsewhere, Kosheen's 'Hide U' is at Number Six, and Embrace's 'Wonder', is currently at Number Nine.
