A Lancaster rock band is pushing to achieve its first Top 5 UK album after reaching number 2 in the midweek charts.
Massive Wagons' new release 'Earth to Grace' is behind only Michael Ball and Alfie Boe's new release 'Together at Home' in the midweek charts released on Tuesday.
The official charts are based on sales of CDs, downloads, vinyl, audio and video streams and other formats, and are compiled by the Official Charts Company. The final chart will be announced on Friday evening.
The rock band's seventh studio album is outselling records by The Cure, Sabrina Carpenter, Primal Scream, Chapell Roan and Ed Sheeran in the Top 10.

"OFFICIALLY NO2 IN THE @officialcharts MID WEEK CHART!! BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!
