U.K. MIDWEEKS: SIX PACK A PUNCH

Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” (Polydor) is set for another week on top, while British rock group You Me at Six is heading for this week’s U.K. Official Albums #1 with Suckapunch (Underdog/AWAL).

Sleaford ModsSpare Ribs (Rough Trade) is behind You Me at Six at the halfway point at #2, followed by Why Don’t We’s The Good Times and the Bad Ones (Atlantic) at #4.

London post-punk outfit Shame are in line for their highest-charting album to date with Drunk Tank Pink (Dead Oceans) at #6, and David Bowie’s live album LIVEANDWELL.COM (Parlophone), now at #8, could become his 35th Top 10 album.

Zayn Malik’s Nobody Is Listening (RCA) is the most-streamed new release of the week at #10; Ashnikko’s debut mixtape, Demidevil (Parlophone), is #11.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweek chart, the highest new entry looks set to be a collaboration from Anne-Marie, KSI and Digital Farm Animals, “Don’t Play” (Atlantic), which starts at #2.

Ariana Grande’s “34+35” (Island), currently up eight places to #3 following a new version of the song released Friday featuring Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat, is on track to hit a new peak.

Further down, three cuts are on course to reach new heights this week: Tiesto’s “The Business” (Atlantic) leaps seven places to #14, Nathan Dawe and Little Mix’s “No Time for Tears” (Atlantic) also jumps seven spots to #15 and “Goosebumps” (Ministry of Sound) by Spanish-born producer HVME climbs five rungs to #20.
