Take That and JLS hold off The Beatles in chart battle

Take That and JLS are on course to dominate this weekend's singles and album charts, holding off a download surge expected from The Beatles.

This week the fab four's entire catalogue was made available to download for the first time.

Take That's new album The Promise has already sold more than 300,000 copies and is on course to be one of the biggest first week sales totals ever.

It's the biggest first day sales in 13 years, since Oasis's Be Here Now.

In the Official Singles Chart JLS are well ahead with this year's Children In Need single, Love You More.

However the Official Charts Company is expecting several of the Beatles singles and albums to appear in the charts by Sunday.
