U.K. MIDWEEKS: WORLD CUP MANIA

7/10/18

The 22-year-old football anthem “Three Lions” (Epic) is currently at #1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart as England heads to the World Cup semi-final on Wednesday. Over on albums, Years & Years (Polydor) could have a second #1.

Originally released in 1996 when England was the host—and qualified for the semi-finals—of Euro 96, “Three Lions” by Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds has shifted 24k downloads and 2.6m streams since Friday. It’s ahead of George Ezra’s “Shotgun” (Columbia) by 8k combined sales at the halfway stage.

Over on the Official Albums midweeks, Years & Years’ second album, Palo Santo, is currently #1. The Greatest Showman soundtrack (Atlantic) is behind at #2 and Drake’s Scorpion (Island) has dropped to #3.
