MUMBAI: Little Mix are facing a big challenge from Ed Sheeran for this week’s U.K. singles chart crown.
The British pop group takes an early lead with “Sweet Melody,” the reigning No. 1 No on the Official U.K. Singles Chart.
However, just 250 chart sales separate “Sweet Melody” from Sheeran’s “Afterglow” following the weekend’s sales and streaming activity, the Official Charts Company reports. There’s a lot of time left for Sheeran to make his move.
