Heaton & Abbott’s N.K-Pop (EMI) could become their second #1 as a duo on Friday. Easy Life’s second LP, Maybe In Another Life… (Island), is the closest competition at #2 today.
Pink Floyd’s Animals (2018 Remix) (Parlophone) is up 97 places to #3 thanks to the release of a deluxe gatefold edition. The Cult are on track for #4 with Under The Midnight Sun (Black Hill).
The success of Beyoncé’s “Cuff It” (Columbia)—which is #6 on singles today—has sent RENAISSANCE back into the Top 10 at #7.
Sam Fender’s Seventeen Going Under (Polydor) is also on the rise, up 45 places to #8, due to a special anniversary repressing on vinyl.
On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, “Unholy” (Capitol) by Smith and Petras is leading the charge at #1.
Two Aitch tracks look set for new peaks: “PSYCHO” with Anne-Marie (Asylum) is up four to #8, while Ed Sheeran collab “My G” is up three to #13.
