U.K. CHARTS: IT'S WALKER'S TIME

3/4/19

BRITs British Breakthrough winner Tom Walker could be the first artist to enter straight in at #1 in the U.K. with a debut album in nearly two years. What a Time to be Alive (Relentless) is sitting at the top of the midweek Official Albums Chart on 25k combined sales so far. Over on singles, The Jonas Brothers have the highest new entry.

Sixty-four percent of Walker’s sales are physical. Should it hold onto its midweek lead, Walker will be the first act to chart at #1 with a debut album since Harry Styles hit the top in May 2017. Stormzy was the last new act with no prior recordings to debut at the top; he did it in March 2017.
