Now, let's turn our attention to albums.
Nigerian singer-songwriter Wizkid unleashes sixth studio record MORAYO, leading with focus track Bend. Can the superstar earn a third Top 40 album in the UK?
Father John Misty releases the snaippily-titled Mahashmashana, his sixth full-length work, as 2020 Mercury Prize winner Michael Kiwanuka delivers Small Changes, the eagerly-awaited follow-up to 2019 LP Kiwanuka.

Yeah, EPs and albums listed in the singles, an overabundance of Australasian artists that have never charted (again), which probably means you haven't looked that hard for UK based artists and have missed some (again), like, oh, I dunno, Kim Wilde, maybe?
When are you going to get decent at this?
And put the "The"s back in all the artist titles. Your search facility is not enhanced by missing it out on what I note is not quite all, but almost all.

I don't agree with Albums being listed as singles at all.
EP's on the other hand has always been a type of single in history but it's the most popular by the DJ track they play out as the single.
EP's are more known as extended singles than mini albums but they call them mini albums as well.

Mungo Jerry - Always Time For Coffee is missing but the proper Stereo single is new today before today it was only a Mono preview on YouTube Videos.
