U.K. MIDWEEKS: HOZIER SET FOR #1

8/21/23

Hozier is set for his first U.K. Official Albums #1 with Unreal Unearth (Island). Over on singles, there’s a three-way battle for the top.

Unreal Unearth looks set to top Hozier’s previous best of #3, achieved with his self-titled debut in 2014.

Exorcism of Youth (Cooking Vinyl) from Scottish band The View is #2 today, followed by Birdy’s Portraits (Warner Music U.K.) at #3.

Reneé Rapp looks set to make her U.K. chart debut with Snow Angel (Interscope) at #4.

Outside of the Top 10, a 40th anniversary re-rerelease of Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense (Sire) could re-enter at #13 to reach its highest peak. Aerosmith’s Greatest Hits (Universal) collection is heading for the Top 20 on Friday, starting at #19.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo are in a three-way race for #1. There’s less than 1k sales separating the trio at today’s halfway point.

From the Barbie movie, “Dance the Night” (Warner Records) by Lipa currently leads the charge, followed by “What Was I Made For” (Interscope) by Eilish at #2. Rodrigo’s “Vampire” (Geffen) is #3.

Following last week’s record-breaking feat, female artists still make up the majority of the Top 10, with Doja Cat’s “Paint The Town Red” (Kemosabe/RCA) set to rise eight to join them at #7.

Chase & Status, Bou and Flowdan could all reach a brand-new peak this week with “Baddadan” (EMI) expected to climb six to #14.

Following its debut inside the Top 40 last week, Sonny Fodera, MK and Clementine Douglas’ “Asking” (Solotoko) is set to rise 11 to #20.
