London Grammar are on course to secure their second number one album with Californian Soil.
The Nottingham-formed trio, Hannah Reid, Dan Rothman and Dominic “Dot” Major, are outselling the rest of the top five combined, according to the Official Charts Company’s mid-week update.
If the album, which explores themes of feminism and fame, ends the week at number one it will follow in the footsteps of 2017’s chart-topping Truth Is A Beautiful Thing.
