Disney's Beauty and the Beast can be our guest anytime.

This Sunday's Official Video Chart is shaping up to be a huge one; the live action remake of the 1991 animated film has the potential to become the second-fastest selling DVD/Blu-ray of the year so far, should its sales momentum continue.

The Emma Watson-starring movie - which is also available nationwide in the new 'big sleeve' format - has shifted 315,000 units as of today's midweek sales flash, which already puts it as the fourth fastest-selling release of 2017.

So popular is the new take on the classic love story that the movie is outselling the Top 40 combined on this week's Chart Update.

Bridget Jones's Baby had the third most popular opening week with 359,000 copies shifted, while 447,000 of you picked up Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them in its first seven days on sale. Rogue One remains the fastest seller of the first seven months of the year after 661,000 DVDs and Blu-rays flew off the shelves.
