UK: Mid-week charts show that Paramore are set for a No.1 spot with their latest studio album.
Quote:
Their self-titled record is currently in competition with Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience, and is outselling it three to one - which could see an end to Timberlake's current three week chart reign.
Pink's latest album, The Truth About Love, is on course for No.3 and Imagine Dragons are currently at No.4 with Night Visions. The top five is rounded out by Stone Sour's House of Gold & Bones - Part Two.
James Blake's latest album, Overgrown, looks likely to make it to No 6 despite the star telling fans that he 'doesn't care' if they download it illegally, and adding, "Why wouldn't you?"
In the singles chart, it looks as though Duke Dumont will continue to hold onto the No 1 spot with 'Need U (100%)', a collaboration with A*M*E. Pink's 'Just Give Me A Reason' is at No 2, with Bastille's 'Pompeii' at No 3. Nelly's 'Hey Porsche' and Justin Timberlake's 'Mirrors' are at Nos 3 and 4, respectively.

Rolling Stones: Paramore Rock the House in 'Still Into You'
Quote:

In their new video for "Still Into You," Paramore tackle the age old question of what to do with free reign over an ornate and totally empty mansion? Their take: Bike down the halls at top speed, throw an impromptu ballet recital and set sail on a boat placed in the middle of a room filled with balloons. Set to the sugar coated pop-rock gem from their new self-titled album (out today), frontwoman Hayley Williams – rocking a two-toned hairdo – leads her wheelie-popping bandmates, Jeremy Davis and Taylor York, through a neon-streaked wild rumpus, which culminates the only way it possibly could. Fireworks. Lots and lots of fireworks.

Billboard: Paramore Aiming for First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart
Quote:
Rock band Paramore is aiming for its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as its new self-titled set should bow atop the list next week. Industry sources project that the album, the group's first since 2009, may sell around 110,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on April 14.
The trio's last release, "Brand New Eyes," debuted and peaked at No. 2 with 175,000 sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
If Paramore hits No. 1, it will mark the second chart-topper for the band’s label, Fueled by Ramen. The company earlier hit the top with Fall Out Boy's "Infinity On High" on Feb. 24, 2007.
The new Billboard 200 chart's top 10 will be revealed on the morning of April 17.
The current Billboard 200 chart leader, Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience," might slide to the No. 2 or No. 3 slot next week. Its placement depends on where Brad Paisley's new "Wheelhouse" ends up. At the present, the country star's album might sell around 80,000 to 100,000 copies. Paisley has yet to log at No. 1, despite seven earlier top 10 efforts.
Other top 10 debuts next week could include Tyga's "Hotel California," Eric Church's "Caught in the Act" and rock band Device's self-titled debut album.
