Chromatica by Lady Gaga holds on to Number 1 for a second week in a photo-finish Official Albums Chart race.
The UK’s fastest-selling album of 2020 so far retains the albums top spot finishing ahead of its closest competitor by less than 600 chart sales.
It means midweek leaders, indie band Sports Team score this week’s highest new entry at Number 2 with their debut album Deep Down Happy. The six-piece do however seize the title of the biggest seller of the week, leading on physical sales as well as having the edge on digital downloads. Sports Team score the best seller of the week across UK independent record shops and Number 1 on the Official Vinyl Chart after shifting 4,300 copies on wax.

At Number 3, US pop-punk band All Time Low claim their fourth Top 10 with Wake Up, Sunshine following its release on CD and vinyl. The band’s eighth album originally debuted at Number 28 back in April when it was released on digital download and streaming services only. All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth joined us for The Record Club earlier this week - catch up here.
Meanwhile, The Essential Human League, a greatest hits album from the legendary English synth-pop band, debuts at Number 13 – their seventh Top 20 collection. Run The Jewels’ RTJ4 debuts at Number 18 to become the American hip-hop duo’s first Top 20 and highest charting album yet.
Finally, the Kidz Bop Kids dance their way to a sixth Top 40 album with Kidz Bop Party Playlist, which opens at Number 22.

The album by Sports Team is garbage.
All Time Low have 1 good song on their new one - Trouble Is.
Piran
Congrats to Lady Gaga on a second week at #1! 'Chromatica' was always an amazing album to begin with, but it just keeps growing on me, haha.
It sounds like lots of celebrities have been getting behind Sports Team this week, so I might have to check some of their music out too! :)
J
Jstar
Great to see she secured another week at number 1. That is awesome.
Piran
Hey Jstar! :)
Yeah, you can see how close it was too!
That being said, I think while the albums chart was fairly interesting this week, the singles chart sadly won't be.
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
Hey mate! :)
It appears that there was only one new entry into the Top 40. As such, I’m preparing a review where I’ll review five songs I found on Forza Horizon 4. They’re all positive reviews, of course!
Piran
Hey Coolocelot! :)
Yeah, it was such a quiet week, especially when you consider that one new entry only managed to sneak in at #40.
I'm definitely looking forward to those reviews, especially when the soundtrack is as awesome as it is!
Marcothedonjuan
Hey Jstar and Piran!!!! :) Go Gaga! :)
J
Jstar
Yeah, Go Gaga lol. Good to see you Marco.
J
Jstar
Hey Piran, i didn't even know the Disqus notifications weren't working, I really haven't been on since Monday. But good thing I get emails to my phone letting me know when someone responds to my comment.
Yep, a close race by Gaga just got the edge, the singles chart definitely doesn't seem that interesting this week.
Marcothedonjuan
Same to you! :)
Marcothedonjuan
I just noticed they weren't working too...refreshed my page like 10 times...lol.
J
Jstar
Yeah, i hate when that happens, it makes it much harder to keep track of everyone who replies to you. Oh well haha.
Piran
Hey Marco! I completely agree, haha.
Hope you're doing okay! :)
Piran
Yeah, I'm still getting replies from yesterday as "new" notifications, haha! :P
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
Mine are broken too. Bit of a pity. It says "6" every time I click on my inbox.
Piran
We literally only just one new entry & two re-entries in the Top 40 of the singles chart. Even the former was right down at #40! :O
I get too many emails on my personal address to have Disqus ones on top of that too, haha, but it's just the web page inbox that isn't updating at the moment.
Piran
Mine says "2", you're more popular I am, haha! :P
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
Not usually, you were just on late lol. :P
J
Jstar
Yeah that , hopefully it is fixed later today.
J
Jstar
Hopefully there will be more people commenting still, i am leaving in like15mins though so I won't really be on today.
Piran
Haha, true! :P
It looks the singles chart is about to be published, so I'll see you there mate.
Piran
That's alright! I'm not going to be on for long tonight either really, but nice to chat to you for a little bit anyway. :)
Marcothedonjuan
I'm doing good thanks, hope the same for you! :)

Check out the video for Sports Team - a great reminder of what LIVE MUSIC is all about - something we are all sadly missing!
