Harry Styles’ Harry’s House (Columbia) returns to the top of the Official Albums Chart for a fifth non-consecutive week as Warner’s LF System holds onto #1 at singles for a second week.
Styles’ third album can now claim the most time at #1 this year, topping the four non-consecutive weeks registered by Ed Sheeran’s = (Equals) (Atlantic). Styles' smash has benefited from the release of a video for “Late Night Talking.”
Burna Boy’s Love, Damini (Atlantic) lights up at #2, making it the week’s highest new entry. He also cracks the Top 10 at singles with “Last Last,” which is up five places to #7 to become his fourth U.K. Top 10.
James Bay’s Leap (EMI) jumps in at #4, becoming his third Top 5 album. It's also the week’s biggest seller on vinyl.
Brent Faiyaz makes his Official Albums Chart debut with WASTELAND (Lost Kids/Venice/Stem) at #6; Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s “lost” album from 2001, Toast (Reprise), pops up at #23.
At singles, the Scottish DJ duo LF System, Conor Larkman and Sean Finnegan, enjoys a second week at #1 with “Afraid To Feel” (Warner).
Among the singles rising to new heights in the Top 20 are George Ezra’s “Green Green Grass” (Columbia) at #3, David Guetta, Ella Henderson and Becky Hill’s “Crazy What Love Can Do” (Parlophone) at #8, Nathan Dawe f/Ella Henderson’s “21 Reasons” (Warner) at #10, OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried” (Interscope) at #14 and Sigala’s Talia Mar collab “Stay the Night” (Ministry of Sound) at #17.
