U.K. MIDWEEKS: COWBOY DOUBLES UP

4/2/24

Beyoncé is set to claim the #1 slots on the U.K.’s Official Albums and Singles Charts on Friday, with COWBOY CARTER (Columbia/Parkwood) outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined at the halfway point.

Should it hold onto its midweek lead, COWBOY CARTER will become Bey’s fifth solo #1 in the U.K.

Oxford rock band Ride are tracking for a career best with their seventh record, Interplay (Wichita Recordings), set to debut at #2.

Sum 41 could score their highest-charting album in 23 years with their final release, Heaven :x: Hell (Rise Records), at #10 today. The sixth album from While She Sleeps, SELF HELL (Spinefarm), is #18.

BTS member j-hope is eyeing his first solo Top 40 album with HOPE ON THE STREET VOL. 1 (BIGHIT) at #20.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, Beyoncé’s “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” has bounced back two places to #1. Friday would be its fifth non-consecutive week at the top.

Two more tracks from COWBOY CARTER could impact the Top 10: a cover of the Dolly Parton classic, “Jolene,” is #5, while the Miley Cyrus duet “II MOST WANTED” is #8.

The self-released “i like the way you kiss me” by DJ Artemas is set to lift six places to #7, while Irish DJ duo NewEra could fly into the Top 20 with “Birds in the Sky” (Warner Records) at #19.
