U.K. MIDWEEKS: LIBERTINES RETURN

4/8/24

The Libertines are heading for their first U.K. Official Albums #1 in 20 years as seven other new releases occupy slots in the midweek Top 10. Over on singles, Benson Boone, Beyoncé and Hozier are battling for the top spot.

All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade (EMI), The Libertines’ fourth set, could become their first #1 album since 2004.

The debut from indie rock band The K’s, I Wonder if the World Knows? (LAB), could hit #2 on Friday; Conan Gray’s Found Heaven (Island) is also new at #3. Feeder could score an 11th Top 10 album as Black / Red (Big Teeth Music) sits at #4. The Black Keys’ Ohio Players (Nonesuch Records) is #6.

J. Cole’s Might Delete Later (Interscope) is #7 while Khruangbin’s A LA SALA (Dead Oceans) starts at #8 and Vampire Weekend’s Only God Was Above Us (Columbia) is #9.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, Boone’s “Beautiful Things” (Warner Records) is set to return to #1 though “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” (Columbia/Parkwood) by Beyoncé and “Too Sweet” (Island) by Hozier are both less than 1k chart sales behind, at #2 and #3 respectively.

Artemas’ “i like they way you kiss me” (Parlophone) is up one to #5, while “Austin” (Warner Records) by Dasha is set to rise seven to #8. “Alibi” (Atlantic) by Ella Henderson and Rudimental is up to #9 from #14 thanks to a new remix featuring Natasha Bedingfield.
