Zayn is set to score his first solo Number 1 this week with his debut album Mind Of Mine

Zayn is set to score this week's Number 1 with his debut solo album Mind Of Mine.

The collection is leading the way on the Official Albums Chart, currently over 5,000 combined sales ahead of his closest competitor, Adele's 25. 

Zayn's debut album has been highly anticipated since his departure from One Direction almost exactly one year ago. The singer bagged the fastest selling single of the year so far with Pillowtalk back in February, and he's released a series of songs in the build up to the album's release - you can see where those peaked on the chart here. 

Meanwhile, a further six new entries are heading for this Friday's album chart. US blues singer Joe Bonamassa debuts at Number 3 with his latest effort Blues Of Desperation, Birdy's third album Beautiful Lies starts at Number 4, and British metalcore band Asking Alexandria are new at 10 with The Black.

Further down, White Denim's Stiff (16), Amon Amarth's Jomsviking (20) and Bob Mould's Patch The Sky (34) are all set to earn a place on this week's Top 40. 

Over on the Official Singles Chart, Mike Posner is on course for a third week at the top with I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Seeb Remix). The track is currently just over 10,000 combined sales ahead of the Number 2 song, Lukas Graham's 7 Years.

Meanwhile, Fifth Harmony are edging closer to second place with Work From Home, currently at 3, and Sia's Cheap Thrills is up three spots to Number 5. 

Outside the Top 10, Alan Walker's Faded leaps six places to Number 12, Chainsmokers' Roses moves from 33 to 27, and Meghan Trainor's No looks set to hit the UK Top 40 for the first time this week, up ten places to 32.
