U.K. MIDWEEKS: THREE VIE FOR #1

7/17/23

J Hus, Taylor Swift and Rita Ora are in a three-way battle for the U.K.’s Official Albums #1, while BTS member Jung Kook could be heading for the top at singles.

At today’s halfway point, J Hus leads the pack on albums with Beautiful and Brutal Yard (Black Butter). Fewer than 2k sales separating the Top 3, putting the #1 spot in play.

Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (EMI) is #2, while Ora’s first album in nearly five years, You & I (BMG), is #3.

Gerry Cinnamon’s Live at Hampden Park (Little Runaway) is new at #4 followed by PVRIS’ Evergreen (Hopeless) at #5. Lauren Spencer Smith’s Mirror (Island/Republic) is #6, while Mahalia’s second set, IRL (Atlantic), is #9.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, “Seven” (BIGHIT) by Jung Kook f/Latto is #2 today. The track is less than 2k sales behind current #1, “Sprinter” (Live Yours/Neighbourhood), by Dave and Central Cee.

“What Was I Made For” (Interscope) by Billie Eilish from the Barbie soundtrack is predicted to bow at #9. J Hus has three tracks in the Top 40: “Who Told You” with Drake is #4; “Militerian” with Naira Marley is #18; and “Masculine” with Burna Boy is #22.
