Beyonce sets sight on fourth UK Number 1 album with RENAISSANCE currently outselling the Top 5

With BREAK MY SOUL also flying up the Official Singles Chart - can Bey secure an Official Charts Double this week?

Beyoncé’s chart RENAISSANCE continues in abundance today – as her seventh solo record sets its sights on becoming her fourth UK Number 1 album.

RENAISSANCE is currently out-selling the rest of the Top 5 combined, with its lead single BREAK MY SOUL also currently challenging for the UK’s Number 1 single. Could Bey claim the Official Chart Double this week?

The US superstar has previously topped the Official Albums Chart on three occasions as a solo artist; with debut LP Dangerously in Love (2003), 4 (2011) and magnum opus Lemonade (2016).
