It’s a double win for Columbia Records in the U.K.: Harry Styles continues to have the #1 single while Arcade Fire has registered their fourth chart-topper on the Official Albums tally.
The Canadian alt-rock group’s WE (Columbia) follows The Suburbs, Reflektor and Everything Now to the top slot and also is the week’s top seller on vinyl.
The second studio album from Scandinavia’s Sigrid, How to Let Go (Island), heads straight in at #2 while London-born rapper Knucks makes his Official Albums Chart debut at #3 with ALPHA PLACE (Nodaysoff). Jack Harlow makes it into the first Top 5 for the first time as Come Home The Kids Miss You (Atlantic) lands at #4.
Soft Cell’s first studio album together in 20 years, *Happiness Not Included (BMG) is #7 and Belle & Sebastian’s A Bit of Previous (Matador) is the Scottish indie group’s fifth Top 10 record, coming in at #8.

At singles, Styles’ “As It Was” enjoys its sixth week at #1, racking up over 6.8m streams to remain the most-streamed track in the country.
Harlow’s “First Class” holds onto #2 as another two of his album’s tracks enter the Top 40: “Churchill Downs” f/Drake at #19 and “Dua Lipa” at #33.
