U.K. MIDWEEKS: CAT FIGHT FOR #1

8/29/23

Burna Boy’s seventh LP, I Told Them… (Atlantic), is on track to become the Afrobeats star’s first Official Albums #1. At singles, Doja Cat is also looking to score her first U.K. #1, although the competition is tight.

Behind Burna Boy at #2 is the second solo album from Steps singer Claire Richards, Euphoria (Edsel). Alice Cooper could secure his highest-charting album since 1989 with Road (earMUSIC) at #3 while the debut from alt-pop star Ashnikko, Weedkiller (Parlophone), is eyeing a #4 entry. Digga D’s Back to Square One (Black Money) is expected to bow at #6.

Zach Bryan’s self-titled fourth album (Warner) could become his first to chart in the U.K., currently sitting at #15.

At singles, Doja Cat’s “Paint The Town Red” (RCA) sits at #1 at the midway mark with less than 1K chart separating the Top 5: Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” (Geffen); Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer’ (EMI); Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” (Interscope); and Peggy Gou’s “(It Goes Like) Nanana” (XL).

Miley Cyrus’s “Used To Be Young” (Columbia) is on course for a #9 debut, while Selena Gomez’s “Single Soon” (Interscope) is predicted to enter at #17.
