With Liquid Gold (Cooking Vinyl), Shed Seven has its second U.K. Official Albums #1 in a year. Sabrina Carpenter makes it six weeks on top of the singles chart with "Taste" (Island).
Liquid Gold follows the British rock band’s first chart-topper and sixth studio set, A Matter of Time, which reached #1 in January. Today’s achievement puts Shed Seven in the company of acts like Elton John, The Beatles, Queen, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran in achieving two or more #1 albums in a year. Not bad for an act that's yet to break stateside.
Bring Me the Horizon's POST HUMAN: NeX GEn (RCA), which arrived on physical formats this week following its digital release in May, earns a new peak of #2 after its original, #5 debut. It’s the group’s fifth Top 10 album.
Nines lands at #4 with what is said to be his final album, the aptly titled Quit While You’re Ahead (Zino). Ed Sheeran’s +-=÷× (Tour Collection) (Asylum) ends the week at #5.
Ezra Collective has its first U.K. Top 10 album with Dance, No One’s Watching (Partisan), at #7. Pale Wales’ fourth LP, Smitten (Dirty Hit), is their fourth Top 40 at #13.
On the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart, Carpenter's “Taste” collected 6.2m streams over the last seven days to remain at #1. Labelmate Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” holds at #2.
This week’s highest new entry is “Timeless” (Republic Records/XO) by The Weeknd and Playboi Carti, which lands at #7.
Linkin Park’s “Heavy Is the Crown” (Warner Records) is up an impressive 48 places to #18, while “WILDFLOWER” (Darkroom/Interscope) by Billie Eilish breaks into the Top 20 for the first time by climbing three to #20.
