Gorillaz’ Cracker Island (Parlophone) is their second U.K. Official Albums #1, seizing the top slot 17 years after the gang last hit that height. Over on singles, Miley Cyrus is #1 for a seventh week.

Gracie Abrams makes her Official Albums Chart debut with Good Riddance (Interscope), at #3, and Adam Lambert has his first solo Top 5 as High Drama (Warner Music) lands at #5 today.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart, Cyrus’ “Flowers” (RCA) has claimed a seventh consecutive week at #1. The track tallied 5.2m streams to remain on top this week.

At #2, “Boy’s a liar” (Parlophone) by PinkPantheress holds steady. The Weeknd’s “Die for You” (Republic/Island) breaks into the Top 10 for the first time, at #4, thanks to a new remix with Ariana Grande.
