After their performances at Worthy Farm over the weekend - some of pop's superstars have benefitted from a post-Glastonbury surge in sales.

Dua Lipa, who headlined the Pyramid stage on Friday night, is now battling Imagine Dragons for this week's number one album.

'Radical Optimism' has jumped 25 places following her Pyramid Stage set.

She's not the only one to benefit, with Shania Twain's Greatest Hits is up to number 18 - its first time in the top 40 since 2005.

The British-Kosovan pop star's set saw her bring out Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, who produced her latest album, for a cover of his song The Less I Know The Better, and a performance of her song Houdini.

Following the performance, 2020's Future Nostalgia is currently sitting in ninth place and her 2017 debut Dua Lipa is in 13th.

If Imagine Dragons' Loom pips her to the top spot, it will be the group's second number one album, after 2015's Smoke & Mirrors.

Lipa is not the only one to see a Worthy Farm bounce, with Shania Twain seeing her Greatest Hits, which received a vinyl reissue last week, up to number 18, in what would be its first time in the top 40 since 2005.

It all comes as, today, Dua Lipa has announced she'll be performing at Wembley Stadium next summer after her set at Worthy Farm stunned audiences on-site and those watching on the telly.

She described her headline set at Glastonbury as the "best night of my life", adding: "I am still flying high from the magic of headlining the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury this weekend, and I am absolutely thrilled to announce I'll be playing Wembley Stadium this time next year."

The pop star performed hit after hit as she took to the Pyramid Stage, performing tracks such as These Walls, Break My Heart, Hallucinate, Electricity, Physical and Don't Start Now.

Sharing a gallery of photos and videos from her set on Instagram, she wrote: "Best night of my life!!! Headlining Glastonbury 2024 - beyond my wildest dreams and I'm still taking it all in!!!

"Thank you thank you everyone who came to see us! Believe in the magic because it's real!!!"
