U.K. MIDWEEKS: MCKENNA VS. KAHAN

2/12/24

Declan McKenna and Noah Kahan are battling it out for this week’s U.K. Official Albums #1. Over on singles, Kahan’s Stick Season (Republic) remains on top.

McKenna’s third set, What Happened to the Beach? (Columbia), is leading the charge at today’s midweek stage. However, with an expanded deluxe edition of Kahan’s Stick Season just 3k sales behind at #2, the race is not yet won.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign could debut at #3 with Vultures 1 (YZY). Dizzee Rascal’s Don’t Take It Personal (Big Dirtee Records) is also on track for a #10 debut, at #6.

Zara Larsson’s Venus (Epic) could be her second Top 10 at #7. Usher’s Coming Home (mega/gamma) is predicted to be his seventh Top 10 at #9 (although his Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show could boost it further within the coming days).

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, “Stick Season” is on track to make a seventh consecutive week at #1. The track is nearly 2:1 ahead of its nearest competition.

That competition is Teddy Swims, whose “Lose Control” (Warner) is set to rise one to #2. Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” (Warner) is also on the rise, up one to #4.

“Alibi” (Major Toms/Asylum) by Ella Henderson and Rudimental is predicted to sail to #11 on Friday, while “Whatever” (RCA) by Kygo and Ava Max (which features a Shakira sample) is up 10 places to #18.
