Despite a low start of #57 on Monday, Childish Gambino has rocketed up the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart to surpass Jess Glynne and claim this week’s highest new entry at #14 with “This Is America” (Columbia)—his highest peak in Blighty as a lead artist to date.

Glynne has started at #16 with “I’ll Be There” (Atlantic). The single is her first new music as a lead artist since 2015,and preludes a second album that’s expected later in the year.

On the Official Albums Chart, Frank Turner is this week’s highest new entry at #3 with Be More Kind (Polydor). The Greatest Showman soundtrack (Atlantic) now has a 15th non-consecutive week at #1, replacing Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys (Island), which moves down to #2.

Plan B has the second highest entry with Heaven Before All Hell Breaks Loose (Atlantic) at #5. Further down, Shinedown have their first U.K. Top 10 with ATTENTION ATTENTION (Warner Music) at #8, as does Jon Hopkins with Singularity (Domino) at #9.
