Lewis Capaldi reclaims Official Albums Chart top spot
Lewis Capaldi bounces back to Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart with is debut collection Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent.
The album fights off three new entries in this week’s Top 5, including Will Young’s Lexicon, which debuts at Number 2. All of the Will’s albums have peaked within the Top 2 on the albums chart, with four reaching Number 1.
Watch Lewis celebrate back when his album first entered at Number 1 in May (warning: he's quite sweary!)

At this rate, I feel like Lewis Capaldi could end up having the second biggest album of 2019 (behind Ed Sheeran's upcoming release).
I'm definitely happy for all three new entries in the Top 5 this week! :)
