Mabel is leading the race for the UK’s Number 1 album this week, as she eyes up her first-ever UK Number 1 album with pop-tastic record About Last Night…

Centred around a house party, the second studio album from the 26-year-old star follows on from two previous Top 40 collections; 2018 EP Ivy To Roses (28) and 2019 debut LP High Expectations (3). See Mabel’s full Official Chart history here.

But there’s still all to play for, as beabadoobee’s Beatopia tracks for a Number 2 debut this week, currently the biggest release of the week on physical formats. The Filipino-British singer-songwriter, born Beatrice Laus, could enjoy a career best with her second studio album. Debut record Fake It Flowers reached Number 8 in 2020. 

The UK’s current Number 1 album, Harry’s House by Harry Styles is also in contention at Number 3 midweek.

"Slipknot’s 2004 album Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses is on track to
return to the Top 40 this week following a vinyl reissue"

Interesting, their worst album (those kick drums are just painful) selling barely enough for a midweek Top 40. I'm sure it won't be returning to the Top 40 now that most of its consumers have ordered/got it already.

I am happy for MABEL but so disappointed to see the amazing LIZZO only at number 7 which makes me believe she won't make the Top 10 by Friday!! Even though SPECIAL is her most critically album thus far!! Hope she fares better in the USA!!
