Joe Bonamassa's new album, 'Driving Towards The Daylight', is currently number one in the Official UK Midweek Album Chart.

Bonamassa's thirteenth studio album, released on Provogue records, tops the chart just ahead of John Mayer's newest release, 'Born and Raised'.

"We are very excited about Joe's impressive rise in record sales," says Ed van Zijl, owner of Provogue Records. "Joe has worked extremely hard for the past 20 years, gradually building a massive following with the general public. It now seems that public demand is dictating the need for a singer/songwriter and guitarist of Joe's stature."

The Official Chart is to be revealed Sunday evening.
