U.K. MIDWEEKS: AN O-ROD DOUBLE?
9/11/23

Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS (Geffen) is outselling the rest of the U.K. Official Albums Top 10 at today’s midweek point. Over on singles, Rodrigo is battling with Doja Cat for #1.

GUTS is set to become Rodrigo’s second U.K. #1 album on Friday after shifting more than 33k sales so far. It leads a Top 6 of all new releases.

At #2 is Roisin Murphy’s sixth set, Hit Parade (Ninja Tune). The Coral’s Sea of Mirrors (Modern Sky/Run On) is also new, at #3; the group’s accompanying release, Holy Joe’s Coral Island Medicine Show, is #13).

The Chemical BrothersFor That Beautiful Feeling (EMI) is predicted to land at #4 as BTS member V starts at #5 with Layover (Interscope).

The first solo record from The xx member Romy, Mid-Air (Young), is #6 today.

Last week’s Mercury Music Prize winners, Ezra Collective, look set to score a new peak for their winning album, Where I’m Meant To Be (Partisan), re-entering at #18.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, “Paint the Town Red” (Ministry of Sound) by Doja Cat is still #1. Rodrigo’s “vampire,” however, could overtake it by the end of the week: It’s currently just over 1k sales away from the summit.

“vampire” is one of three tracks from Rodrigo in today’s Top 5: “bad idea right” is up nine places to #3, while “all-american bitch” is the highest new entry at #4.

Cassö, RAYE and D-Block Europe’s “Prada” (Ministry of Sound) is expected to jump two to #5 and “adore u” (Atlantic) by Fred again.. and Obongjayar could also lift to a new high at #6.
