U.K. MIDWEEKS: A BATTLE BREWS
7/18/22

The second albums form Mabel and beabadobee are vying for the top slot on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart while the challenge to LF System at singles owes to a performance on ITV’s Love Island.

Mabel’s About Last Night… (Polydor) is #1 at midweek while beabadobee’s Beatopia (Dirty Hit) is the biggest release of the week so far on physical formats. Mabel’s debut, High Expectations, peaked at #3; beabadobee’s Fake It Flowers topped out at #8.

Naturally, Harry StylesHarry’s House (Columbia), currently #3, can’t be counted out to return to #1 for a sixth non-consecutive week.

Interpol’s The Other Side of Make-Believe (Matador) is tracking for #4 and could be their fifth Top 10 album. Yorkshire’s Working Men’s Club’s Fear Fear (Heavenly/[PIAS]), at #6, and Lizzo’s Special (Atlantic), currently #7, could become the artists’ first-ever U.K. Top 10s.

Black Midi’s Hellfire (Rough Trade) sits at #8 and the sixth studio record from Deaf Havana, The Present Is A Foreign Land (SO), is #9. Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp’s first collaborative album 18 (Rhino) parks at #11 and the debut from BTS member J-Hope, Jack in the Box (Big Hit), pops up at #28.

At singles, David Guetta, Becky Hill & Ella Henderson’s “Crazy What Love Can Do” (Parlophone) is set to crack the Top 5 following Hill’s performance on the popular TV series Love Island as LF System’sAfraid To Feel” (Warner) is poised to log a third consecutive week at #1. Love Island has also pushed Sigala & Talia Mar’s “Stay The Night” (Ministry of Sound) up to #15.
