U.K. MIDWEEKS: EMINEM VS. BEYONCÉ

8/8/22

Eminem and Beyoncé are battling it out for the U.K.’s Official Albums #1 this week in an extremely tight race. Over on singles, KSI and Tom Grennan’s collaboration is gunning for the top.

There are less than 100 sales separating Eminem’s Curtain Call 2 (Interscope) and last week’s #1/today’s leader, Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE (Parkwood/Columbia), at the halfway point.

Calvin Harris is also eyeing a Top 5 entry with Fun Wav Bounces Vol. 2 (Columbia).

ABBA’s ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits (Polar) has a midweek boost, rising to #6, thanks to the announcement its 30th anniversary edition, set to arrive on 9/23.

Becky Hill’s Only Honest on the Weekend (Polydor) is up 16 places to #10 following her performance at the 2022 UEFA Women’s Euro Final Show.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, KSI and Grennan could score their first #1s with collab “Not Over Yet” (Atlantic).

Despite its midweek lead, the track still has strong competition from long-running #1, LF System’s “Afraid to Feel" (Warner), which sits less than 1k sales behind at #2.

Harry Styles’ “Late Night Talking” (Columbia) is back in the Top 10, rising to #4 from #13.

Following the finale of Neighbours on U.K. TV, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan’s 1988 #1 single, “Especially For You” (PAL), could re-enter the Top 40 at #15.
