U.K. CHARTS: STORMZY DOUBLES
1/10/20

Stormzy has scored a double on the U.K.'s Official Charts, sitting at #1 on both albums and singles with Heavy is the Head (Atlantic/Merky) and “Own It.”

Stormzy has climbed to the top with his second album in its fourth week of release, matching the peak his debut achieved in 2017. It was a close battle with Lewis Capaldi, who moves down to #2 with Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent (Virgin EMI).

Elsewhere on this week’s albums chart, two former chart-toppers rebound into the Top 10: Tom Walker’s What A Time To Be Alive (Relentless) to #8, and Hollywood’s Bleeding (Island) by Post Malone, which hops five to #9.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart, Stormzy remains at #1 for a second week with “Own It” alongside Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy.

Justin Bieber’s “Yummy” (Virgin EMI) scores the week’s highest new entry at #5.
