SOUR has now racked up five non-consecutive weeks at #1 and its sales total today includes 7.8k on vinyl. Rodrigo can now claim the fastest-selling debut album on vinyl by a female artist in the U.K. since 2000, overtaking Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (Polydor).
Lorde’s Solar Power (EMI) is new at #2, her strongest chart debut in the U.K. to date, while Jake Bugg is also new at #3 with Saturday Night, Sunday Morning (RCA).
On the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart, Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” remains at #1 for a ninth non-consecutive week. The track is now his longest-reigning #1 single since 2017’s “Shape Of You,” which spent 14 weeks at the top. His new track, “Visiting Hours,” debuts at #5.
