I hope Little Mix's "Get Weird" will be their first number 1 album on the UK chart. However, their album will be up against Ellie Goulding's "Delirium" (which I also like) and Ellie has already had two number 1 albums, so I don't know what will happen until a few weeks.

You can already buy it, it entered at #12 last week and has dropped out of the Top 100 already. Great album though.
