Lily James has spent four weeks at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart thanks to her Mamma Mia! role, and now she could be hitting the top spot on another chart.

Perhaps Lily will feel more at home at Number 1 on the Official Video Chart, the UK's rundown of the most popular DVDs and Blu-rays. Fresh from scoring a UK Top 40 single, Lily is heading for more success with her latest home entertainment release, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. 

The historical drama has shifted 20,000 units in its first three days on sale, and leads today's Official Video Chart Update. With a lead of 2,500 copies, the period romance - originally set to star Kate Winslet - is only marginally ahead. Find out whether it holds on this Sunday.

The rest of the midweek Top 5 looks like this: Dwayne Johnson's Rampage drops to Number 2, The Greatest Showman retreats to Number 3, Ghost Stories starring Martin Freeman begins at 4, and former chart topper Peter Rabbit rounds out the field (5).

New entries and high climbers

A retail price slash sees Wonder starring Julia Roberts rocket 24 places to Number 18, while Chris Hemsworth's 12 Strong is also on the rise, leaping from Number 71 to 27.

Finally, three more new entries could claim a Top 40 position in their debut week of release. Alex Pettyfer thriller The Last Witness is new at 28, comedy drama Funny Cow launches at 29, and American Horror Story: Season 7 lands at Number 31.
