U.K. MIDWEEKS: THIEVES SET TO STEAL #1

Nothing But Thieves are heading for their first U.K. Official Albums #1. Over on singles, Olivia Rodrigo is challenging Dave and Central Cee for the top spot.

With their fourth set, Dead Club City (RCA), Nothing But Thieves look set for a career best.

Fontaines D.C. frontman Grain Chatten also has a high midweek entry, with his debut solo album, Chaos for the Fly (Partisan), starting at #2.

Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape (Mercury/UMR) is new at #4. Developing EMI act Olivia Dean could score her first Top 10 with debut Messy, at #8.

Madonna fans have sent her greatest hits set Finally Enough Love (Rhino) back into the chart at #9 as her Celebration Tour is delayed due to health concerns.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, Rodrigo’s “Vampire” (Geffen) is expected to be the highest new entry, at #2. Can it overtake current #1 “Sprinter” (Live Yours/Neighbourhood), by Dave and Central Cee, by Friday?

“Padam Padam” (BMG), by Kylie Minogue, continues to rise, up three to #7, at today’s halfway point.

The self-released “Pakistan,” by D-Block Europe and Clavish, is the final new entry in the midweek Top 10, at #10.
