The Weeknd’s ‘final’ album Hurry Up Tomorrow secures him fourth UK Number 1

The Weeknd nets his fourth Official Number 1 album with Hurry Up Tomorrow.

The Canadian multihyphenate could be going out with a bang, with Hurry Up Tomorrow reportedly his ‘final’ release under The Weeknd moniker; an alias that’s seen him release six studio albums across a career spanning 14 years. Born Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, The Weeknd dropped his first mixtape, House of Balloons, in 2011.

Hurry Up Tomorrow serves as the third and final record in a trilogy, alongside chart-toppers After Hours (2020) and Dawn FM (2022). His second studio LP Beauty Behind The Madness also topped the Albums Chart on its release in 2015.

The LP also tops the Official Vinyl Albums Chart; Hurry Up Tomorrow proving the biggest record of the week on vinyl.

Congratulations are in order for English electronic duo Maribou State, who bag a personal best 14 years into their career. Hallucinating Love, the third studio album from Chris Davids and Liam Ivory, becomes their highest charting yet (9).

Hallucinating Love also takes the top spot on the Official Record Store Chart; this week’s most popular album in independent UK record shops.

Following her Best New Artist win at last weekend’s GRAMMYs, Chappell Roan’s former chart-topper The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess holds strong, up three this week (6). It marks the record’s 34th week inside the UK Top 10.

Alt-pop artist RØRY celebrates her first-ever Top 10 album with debut release RESTORATION (10).

Speaking exclusively to Official Charts, RØRY says:

“I’ve just found out that my debut album RESTORATION has gone into the Top 10 of the Official Chart!

“As an unsigned, unhinged 40-year-old that decided to come back for a dream, there’s only one reason this happened – my fans, the 37 Club! If you bought this vinyl, if you came to a meet and greet, if you downloaded it – thank you from the bottom of my old and broken heart. I love you, this is for you guys!”

The most-charted British female solo artist of the 1980s, Kim Wilde secures her eighth Top 40 album with Closer this week (27).

Benson Boone reaps the rewards of his GRAMMYs performance (and that jumpsuit) this week, with enduring debut Fireworks & Rollerblades up 26 in a return to the Top 40 (30).

And finally, as he prepares to become the first solo rap artist ever to headline the Super Bowl halftime show this weekend, five-time GRAMMY 2025 winner Kendrick Lamar’s former chart-topper GNX is on the rebound, up two (31). With the album’s release on physical formats this week, expect its ascent to continue.
