The Killers have claimed their seventh #1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart with Pressure Machine (EMI). Over on singles, Ed Sheeran spends an eighth week at the top with “Bad Habits” (Atlantic).
Pressure Machine earned 25k chart sales this week, 84% of which were physical, including 5.4k on vinyl. Alongside the band’s seven-album success streak, today's win means frontman Brandon Flowers has an unbroken run of nine chart-topping albums.
Elsewhere on albums, Olivia Rodrigo’s SOUR (Polydor) rebounds to #2 as the most-streamed album of the week. Jungle claims a personal best with Loving in Stereo (Caiola) at #3.
Last week’s #1, We’re All Alone in This Together (NBR), by Dave, drops to #4, and following the news of Sheeran’s new album, his 2017 release Divide re-enters the Top 10 at #10.
On the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart, Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” enjoys a boost this week thanks to a remix by Fumez the Engineer, featuring Tion Wayne and Central Cee. The track racked up 11m streams and continues to lead on downloads, too.
“Remember” (Polydor) by Becky Hill and David Guetta climbs two to #3 and Digga D and Arrdee’s collaboration, “Wasted” (EGA), is the highest new entry at #6.
Elsewhere in the Top 10, “Industry Baby” (RCA) by Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow climbs four to #7 and “Talk About” (Polydor) by Rain Radio and Craig Gorman jumps five to #9. KSI’s “Holiday” (BMG) is also up two to #10.
