Disturbed land a third U.K. Top 10 with Evolution (Reprise) at #7, and the repack of Dua Lipa's self-titled debut, The Complete Edition (Warner Bros.), bumps the album up 47 places to #9.

The Overtones self-titled set (Gambling Man) is in at #11, Greta Van Fleet start at #12 with their debut full-length, Anthem of the Peaceful Army (Virgin EMI), and Christine and the Queens rise 21 positions to #21 with Chris (Because Music) following her performance on The Graham Norton Show.

On the Official Singles chart, “Promises” (Columbia) by Calvin Harris and Sam Smith is behind “Shallow” at #2 by just 1.2k combined sales.
