The reissue of Michael Jackson's 'Bad' is set to take the Number Six spot, with Bob Dylan at Number Seven and Carly Rae Jepsen new at Number Eight with 'Kiss'. Coldplay and Plan B are set to take the other places in the Top 10, reports Official Charts Company.

Further down the chart, the new records from Rival Sons, Skunk Anansie and We Are The Ocean are set to land at Numbers 19, 26 and 38 respectively.

In the Official Singles Chart, The Script's collaboration with will.i.am 'Hall Of Fame' looks set to take the top spot, with Example narrowly behind in second place with 'Say Nothing'.
