Daft Punk are set to stay at number one in the Official Singles Chart after selling 71,000 copies of their comeback single Get Lucky so far this week.

The French dance duo's track, which features Pharrell Williams, is outselling its nearest rival Rudimental by two copies to one.

Rudimental's debut Home looks set to take over top spot from Michael Buble.

A song recorded by a festival-goer who died in a coach crash last year is in at number 26.

Liverpool teenager Michael Molloy lost his life last September while he was travelling back from Bestival in the Isle Of Wight.

The 18-year-old was one of three people who died in the crash.

Rise And Fall was written by Michael a year earlier and recorded by Michael's friend, bandmate and musical collaborator Alex Evans.

The track has been released by organisers of Bestival, Sunday Best on their label Sunday Best Recordings.

Michael's brother Joe Molloy said: "It was Michael's ambition to have his music recognised by the wider world. He never fulfilled that ambition so we, his family, are fulfilling it for him.

"Michael can never come back and we will never cease to grieve for him.

Bestival organiser and Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank said: "It's obvious to me that Michael was a young and rare talent and that music was an extremely important part of his life.

"I've heard he absolutely loved Bestival and had a great time at Bestival 2012 so I feel privileged to be able to help his family fulfil his and their ambition of getting Michael's music out there."

Last year's runner-up on BBC talent show The Voice, Bo Bruce, is currently at Number six with her debut album Before I Sleep.

It means Bruce will be the first Voice artist to score an Official Top 10 album if the singer maintains her performance through to Sunday's chart.
