Pink beating Oasis to number one

Pink and Noel Gallagher

US pop star Pink is beating Britpop icons Oasis to the number one slot in the UK singles chart, according to midweek sales figures.

Physical sales of the singer's new track So What are set to propel it from 38 to the top spot, according to trade magazine Music Week.

Oasis' The Shock Of The Lightning is currently trailing in second place.

The band are showcasing their new album Dig Out Your Soul on MySpace ahead of its release next week.

Earlier this year, Coldplay allowed their fans to listen to their album Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends on the site before its release.

Pink is on course to claim her second UK number one single, her first since Just Like A Pill in 2002.

Boyzone's comeback single I Love You Anyway, is at number five in the midweek table.

The track is taken from the Irish group's forthcoming studio album, which is due out at Christmas.

The final chart positions, which are compiled by the Official Charts Company, will be announced on Sunday.
