Davido claims career-best with 5ive

Taylor Swift takes The Tortured Poets Department back to the top of the Official Albums Chart, almost one year after it first broke records.

The pop icon’s 11th studio album vaults 23 places to return to the summit, thanks to the release of a signed CD variant in celebration of the LP’s first anniversary.

On its original release in April 2024, The Tortured Poets Department broke Official Chart records, surpassing Adele’s 30 to earn Taylor the biggest opening week for an album in the UK in seven years; since Ed Sheeran’s 2017 LP ÷.

In its 336th week on chart, Fleetwood Mac's enduring 50 Years - Don't Stop compilation clinches a personal best; reaching a new peak of Number 4. It springs three stops this week, marking its first Top 5 appearance in six years.

It’s a career-best for Davido with his fifth studio collection 5ive today (7). The Nigerian-American singer, songwriter and record producer, born David Adedeji Adeleke, previously saw Albums Chart success with 2020’s A Better Time (88) and 2023’s Timeless (10).

Following the release of its deluxe edition featuring brand-new tracks It’s Amazing To Be Young and Before You I Just Forget, Fontaines D.C. see their third collection Romance surge 18 spots to Number 24. The record, which peaked at Number 2 on its release last year, is one of the Official biggest albums of 2025 so far.

She’s doin’ it for The Fame! Following her show-stopping headline sets at Coachella, Lady Gaga’s chart-topping 2008 debut returns to the Top 40 for the first time in two years. The LP, which has spent a total of seven non-consecutive weeks atop the UK Albums Chart since its release, spawned Top 10 singles Just Dance, Poker Face and Paparazzi, plus Bad Romance, Alejandro and Telephone from its The Fame Monster reissue.

As he brings its namesake world tour to the UK, Central Cee’s namesake album CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS is on the rebound; up nine (38). In February, the record earned Cench a second chart-topper, joining 2022 mixtape 23. 

And finally, Doechii’s acclaimed debut Alligator Bites Never Heal breaks into the Top 40 for the first time this week (40). It’s thanks to the album’s release on wax, which also sees it top this week’s Official Vinyl Albums Chart.
