La Roux's self-titled debut album is currently outselling Michael Jackson's Number Ones in the midweek charts.
The electropop duo, made up of singer Elly Jackson and producer Ben Langmaid, are currently on course to top the album countdown, despite a surge in Jackson sales since his death last Thursday.
Meanwhile, La Roux's current chart-topping single 'Bulletproof' is expected to be forced into second place by Jackson's 1988 hit 'Man In The Mirror', which starts the week with a marginal lead.
According to the Official Charts Company, Jackson sold 200,000 singles and 100,000 albums in the two days after he died.
Music retailer HMV recently revealed that it had been forced to rush order more Jackson CDs after experiencing an 80-fold increase in demand for his music.
