Peter Andre is on course for a number one record this weekend with his re-release of Mysterious Girl.
First day sales figures show that the single has been flying off the shelves up and down the country - eight years after it first hit the charts.
The star's career has been revived by his appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and his relationship with fellow contestant Jordan.
Only Westlife stand in the way of Andre reaching the top spot, with their new single Obvious.
"Mysterious Girl has been selling very strongly so far," said Gennaro Castaldo, of music retailer HMV.
"In some of our stores it is the best-seller, in others Westlife are out in front. But overall Peter is just ahead.
"It's great for him - a few weeks ago, who could have expected that Peter Andre would be within reach of a number one record?"
The single was also selling well in Woolworths, where head of entertainment Jim Batchelor said: "Peter Andre's comeback got off to a flying start today and Mysterious Girl is currently outselling its rivals by 2-1.
"If things carry on going the way they are Peter will certainly be number one in the single charts on Sunday."
Mysterious Girl got to number two when it was last released in 1996.
Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles mounted a campaign to get it re-released after watching the Australian singer on I'm A Celebrity.
Andre has signed to East West Records - home of The Darkness - and hopes to become a major star again.
He was a pin-up in the Nineties and topped the charts twice, with Flava and I Feel You.
But the hits dried up and he moved to Cyprus, where he has been helping his brother run a gym and dreaming of a return to the pop scene.
