U.K. MIDWEEKS: ROYAL BLOOD REIGNS
9/5/23

Royal Blood, the rock duo of Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher, is aiming to lock in their fourth consecutive U.K. #1 album this week, while Doja Cat is eyeing her first #1 at singles.

At midweek, Royal Blood’s Back to the Water Below (Warner) is outselling its closest competition, a 10th anniversary edition of The 1975’s self-titled debut from Dirty Hit/Polydor, by more than 2:1.

At #3, is Slowdive’s Everything is Alive (Dead Oceans), which would be their first-ever U.K. Top 10 placement. Their 2017 comeback Slowdive registered a career-best #17.

Rounding out the all-new Top 4 is Sigur Ros’s Atta (BMG), which was released on vinyl on Friday.

A 40th anniversary edition of Jethro Tull’s 14th studio album, The Broadsword and the Beast (Rhino), is currently #6 followed by Rivers of Heresy (Roadrunner) by Empire State Bastard, the duo of Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neal and former Oceansize frontman Mike Vennart, at #7.

Deacon Blue’s greatest hits collection All The 45s: The Very Best of Deacon Blue (Cooking Vinyl), released to coincide with a new U.K. tour, is #8.

At Singles Doja Cat’s “Paint The Town Red” (Ministry of Sound) is predicted to leapfrog Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” (Geffen) to claim the top slot.

Calvin Harris & Sam Smith’s “Desire” (Columbia) could climb into the Top 5 for the first time—it’s #4 at midweek—while Fred again..’s “adore u” (Atlantic) is looking to become his first Top 10 single as a solo artist.

Kylie Minogue's “Tension” (BMG) is on course to be the week’s highest new entry, opening at #14.
