Kaiser Chiefs have ended the week at #3 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart as Duck (Polydor) sits behind Ed Sheeran at #1 and Lewis Capaldi at #2. Over on singles, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s "Senorita" (Virgin EMI/Syco) has 62k combined chart sales to remain on top.
Sheeran's No.6 Collaborations Project (Atlantic) is #1 on albums for a third week on 41k combined chart sales. That number was made up of 19k physical sales and downloads and 22k streaming equivalents.
Sheeran has three times as many chart sales as his closest competitor, Capaldi's Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent (Virgin EMI). Meanwhile, Kaiser Chief's Duck was the top seller in independent record shops.
NF has scored his first U.K. Top 10 album with The Search (Universal) at #7, while ska group The Dualers debut at #11 with Palm Trees and 80 Degrees (Sunbeat).
Of Monsters and Men’s Fever Dream (Island) lands at #15, Burna Boy’s African Giant (WEA) opens at #16, and Chance the Rapper’s self-released debut, The Big Day, charts just behind at #17.
On the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart, “Senorita” is #1 for a third non-consecutive week. That 62k combined sales number was made up of 6.9m streams and 9k downloads.
London hip-hop artist AJ Tracey lifts three places to #4 with self-released breakout hit “Ladbroke Grove,” while Dominic Fike’s “3 Nights” (Columbia) lifts six spots to #8, and Kygo and Whitney Houston’s “Higher Love” (Columbia) climbs five to #10.
Finally, thanks in part to a placement on ITV series Love Island, producer/DJ Joel Corry’s “Sorry” (Asylum) climbs 17 rungs to #21.
