Bastille's Pompeii track moves into US top 10

Bastille's Pompeii has moved into Billboard's Digital Songs Top 10 as sales in the US reach nearly a million.

The London band saw their single climb from number 14 to nine this week.

Music sales tracking company, Nielsen SoundScan, said that Pompeii had sold 992,000 copies, meaning it is likely to hit the million mark in the current chart week.

On the all-combined US Hot 100 it climbs six places to 12.

The chart is compiled from a mixture of sales, airplay and streaming.
