boygenius is heading for #1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart while a tight battle between Ed Sheeran and Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding brews over on singles.
The debut full-length from boygenius, The Record (Interscope), is leading a three-way race for this week’s top spot. Just behind at #2 is Melanie Martinez’s Portals (Atlantic) and DMA’S How Many Dreams? (I Oh You/Mushroom) at #3.
The reissue of De La Soul’s 1989 debut, 3 Feet High and Rising (AOI), could reach a new peak at #4. The Who with Orchestra — Live at Wembley (Universal) is set to land at #7. Davido is on course for a career-best with Timeless (Sony) at #8.
On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, Sheeran’s “Eyes Closed” (Atlantic) could land a second week at #1 but “Miracle” (Columbia) by Harris and Goulding is less than 1k sales behind.
Mimi Webb’s “Red Flags” (Epic) is on track for a new peak this week, up two to #11, while Jax Jones & Calum Scott’s “Whistle” (Polydor) is up to #13 from #22.
Mae Stephens’ “If We Ever Broke Up” (EMI) is up two to #14 and Switch Disco & Ella Henderson’s “React” (Relentless) is also on the rise, from #26 to #15.
This week’s highest new singles entry could belong to BLACKPINK member Jisoo, who seeks to make her solo debut on the U.K. charts with “Flower” (YG/Interscope) at #23.
