U.K. CHARTS: TAYLOR'S 10TH #1

Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (EMI) outsold the rest of this week’s Top 10 to become her 10th U.K. Official Albums #1. Over on singles, Dave and Central Cee score a sixth week at the top.

With 67k chart units, the re-recording of Speak Now more than doubled the sales of the opening week of the original, which peaked at #6 in 2010.

Swift is now the female solo artist to have claimed 10 chart-topping albums in the fastest succession in the U.K.. Her first, Red, hit #1 10 years and eight months ago in 2012.

New at #2 is the Wham! retrospective, The Singles: Echoes From the Edge of Heaven (Sony Music CG) followed by Gabriels at #3 with the second part of their debut, Angels & Queens–Part 2 (Parlophone). I Inside the Old Year Dying (Partisan) by PJ Harvey is also new, at #5. D-Block Europe’s newest self-released mixtape, DBE World, is their seventh Top 10 album at #6.

Following her headlining performance at BST Hyde Park, Lana Del Rey’s Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd. (Polydor) has jumped 50 places to #17.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles chart, “Sprinter” (Live Yours/Neighbourhood) by Dave and Central Cee is once again the country’s most-streamed track, tallying 8.2m this week. Olivia Rodrigo’s “vampire” (Geffen) remains at #2.

Swift has three tracks in the Top 20: “Cruel Summer” jumps three to #3; “I Can See You (Taylor’s Version)” debuts at #6; and “Enchanted (Taylor’s Version)” enters at #15.

Peggy Gou’s “(It Goes Like) Nanana” (XL) is up two to #5, while “0800 HEAVEN” (Atlantic) by Nathan Dawe, Joel Corry and Ella Henderson is also on the rise, up six to #9.
