U.K. MIDWEEKS: A 5-WAY RACE

8/31/21

There are five new entries battling it out for this week’s #1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart with Chvrches currently in the lead by a slim margin. Over on singles, Ed Sheeran still rules.

With less than 2k chart sales separating the Top 5 albums at the halfway point, the top spot is in play. Chvrches’ Screen Violence (Virgin) leads the race, followed by the debut from Maisie Peters, You Signed Up For This (Gingerbread Man) and Kanye West’s Donda (UMG), which leads on digital downloads and streams, at #3.

Halsey starts at #4 with If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power (EMI), followed by Becky Hill’s Only Honest on the Weekend (Polydor) at #5.

Elsewhere in the Top 10, Posh Pop (Demon) by Toyah starts at #9, and a five-disc Beach Boys boxset, Feel Flows: The Sunflower & Surf’s Up Sessions 1969-1971 (Capitol), is #10.
