U.K. CHARTS: GORILLAZ BACK AT #1

3/3/23

Gorillaz’s Cracker Island (Parlophone) is their second U.K. Official Albums #1, hitting the top slot 17 years after they last did it. Over on singles, Miley Cyrus #1.

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.

New collaborative project Obey Robots (Laura Kidd and Gareth ‘Rat’ Pring) are new at #14 with One in a Thousand (My Big Sister Recordings).

Yeat makes his first U.K. Albums Chart appearance with Aftërlyfe (Geffen) at #20, while Shame’s Food for Worms (Dead Oceans), at #21, is their third Top 40 entry.

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.

In doing so, “Flowers” is the longest-running #1 by a female solo artist in the U.K. since Adele’s “Easy on Me” (Columbia) spent eight non-consecutive weeks at the summit in 2021/2022.

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.

Lizzy McApline’s “Ceilings” (AWAL) is up two to #7, while Libianca’s “People” (Sony) also rises two to #11. Mae Stephens has her first Top 20 hit with “If We Ever Broke Up” (EMI) jumping three to #20.
