U.K. MIDWEEKS: BY GEORGE, HE'S GOT IT

George Michael is leading an all-new U.K. Official Albums Top 8 at the week’s halfway point. Over on singles, David Guetta and Bebe Rexha are back on top.

The reissue of Michael’s Older (Sony Music CG) starts at #1 today, followed by Slipknot’s The End So Far (Roadrunner) at #2. The Snuts are at #3 with Burn the Empire (Parlophone), while Craig David’s 22 (BMG) hits #4. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Cool It Down (Secretly Canadian) rounds out the Top 5.

Bjork is new at #6 with what could be her first Top 10 in 15 years, Fossora (One Little Independent). Pixies eye up their seventh Top 10, with Doggerel (BMG) at #7, and the 30th anniversary edition of Hormonally Yours (London Music Stream) by Shakespears Sister is #8.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, Guetta and Rexha are back in the lead as “I’m Good (Blue)” (Parlophone) looks set to unseat Sam Smith and Kim Petras from the top; the latter’s “Unholy” (EMI) slips to #2 today.

Beyoncé’s “Cuff It” (Columbia) looks ready to enter the Top 10 for the first time, at #9, thanks to a new viral trend. And Anne-Marie and Aitch’s “Psycho” (Atlantic) could break in at #10.

This week’s highest new entry belongs to Ed Sheeran’s “Celestial” (Atlantic)—the theme song to the upcoming Pokémon games Scarlet and Violet—at #14.
