UK OCC Charts: Midweeks Thread 2022

[MadNuno]

Why are Taylor Swift albums climbing in lower TOP 40?
What happened?

[Wayne]

Pleased to see Paolo hanging on in the top 10.

As per, there's more than a handful of legacy or hits albums in the top 40, the staying power of albums like Legend, Gold and Rumours is astounding.

[braindeadpj]

Either the market's crashing or there's more data than normal missing from this wednesday update as everybody's sales have declined considerably compared to last week (LF Systems by ~10,000!)

Jamie T set for first-ever UK Number 1 album with The Theory of Whatever as Jack White, Bananarama and more impact chart

Jack White, Bananarama, The Kooks and Gilbert O'Sullivan are also tracking Top 10 midweek
By Carl Smith
Jamie T is set for a triumphant return to the Official Albums Chart, with The Theory of Whatever on course to become his first-ever UK Number 1 record after a six-year break.

The indie-rock singer-songwriter, real name Jamie Alexander Treays, could score his first chart-topper and fifth Top 5 album overall as he takes an early lead midweek. The Wimbledon-born artist has previously enjoyed success with 2007 debut Panic Prevention (4), 2009’s Kings & Queens (2), 2014 LP Carry on the Grudge (4) and 2016 release Trick (3). See Jamie T’s full Official Charts history here.

Jack White’s fifth studio album, and second full-length of the year, Entering Heaven Alive eyes a Number 2 entry this week. The record looks set to give Jack his fifth solo Top 5 album, with the Detroit native having previously topped the Official Albums Chart three times; with 2012’s Blunderbuss, 2014 release Lazaretto and 2018 LP Boarding House Reach. Previous album Fear of the Dawn, released in April 2022, peaked at Number 4.

Four decades into their career, pop duo Bananarama could score a new career best with Masquerade. Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward’s twelfth studio album currently stands at Number 5 midweek. Should it hold on, it’ll prove the group’s highest-ever Official Albums Chart placing, beating 1983 debut Deep Sky Diving, which peaked at Number 8.

Read our exclusive interview with Bananarama here.



Elsewhere in the Top 10, Brighton-born group The Kooks could achieve their highest-charting record in 14 years with sixth studio release 10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark (8). The indie-rock outfit, comprising Luke Pritchard, Max Rafferty and Paul Garred, previously enjoyed success with 2006 debut Inside In/Inside Out (2), 2008’s Konk (1), 2011 release Junk of the Heart (10), 2014 LP Listen (16) and 2018 record Let’s Go Sunshine (9).

Gilbert O’Sullivan is on course to claim his fifth Top 10 album this week with Driven (10). The Irish singer-songwriter’s twentieth studio LP could provide him his highest Official Albums Chart entry in 48 years; his last Top 10 being 1974’s A Stranger in the Back of My Yard (9).

Bob Marley & the Wailers’ Bob Marley & the Chineke! Orchestra – a new collection of the group’s greatest works reimagined by the acclaimed Chineke! Orchestra - looks set to become their fourteenth Top 40 album (26), while ZZ Tops’ Raw – That Little Ol’ Band from Texas soundtrack could become the American rock trio’s ninth (27)

Paul Weller’s ninth solo studio album 22 Dreams eyes a return to the Top 40 this week thanks to a vinyl reissue (28). Originally released in 2008, the album was one of six solo chart-toppers for Paul to date. See Paul Weller’s full Official Charts history here.

And finally, Billie Eilish’s 2021 album Happier Than Ever jumps 7 places midweek (35). The LA-born singer-songwriter surprise-released her Guitar Songs single last week; debuting new tracks TV and The 30^th.

Mabel's About Last Night... tracks for Official Albums Chart Number 1 as Lizzo, BTS's J-Hope and more set for new entries

This week could see big new entries from Mabel, beabadoobee, Interpol and more
By Carl Smith
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.

American rockers Interpol could claim their fifth Top 10 album with The Other Side of Make-Believe, with the record currently tracking for Number 4.

Elsewhere, Yorkshire synth-rock export Working Men’s Club could score their first-ever Top 10 album with Fear Fear. The band, comprising Sydney Minsky-Sargeant, Liam Ogburn, Hannah Cobb and Mairead O’Connor, eye a Number 6 debut.

US pop sensation Lizzo looks set to claim a career best on the Official Albums Chart on Friday as her fourth studio album Special sits at Number 7 midweek. The record could become her first-ever UK Top 10, after 2019’s Cuz I Love You peaked at Number 30. See Lizzo’s full Official Chart history so far here.

Other brand-new Top 10 entries this week could come courtesy of English rock group Black Midi, with Hellfire (8), and Deaf Havana, with their sixth studio record The Present Is A Foreign Land (9).

While i'd rather Kate didn't fall this quickly, I hope she does get to 7 at some point (and also 10) so tthat another record can be set. First to reach all 10 positions in the top 10 though of course it'd be with an asterisk as the positions are faked since ACR.

Actually without ACR, I believe that Bad Habits has actually peaked at every position in the top 10.

Kim Petras suddenly appears at 74 even though the song was on Amazon from the beginning of June - it was for Pride Month, nothing to do with cashing in on Stranger Things. Some playlist shenanigans happening?

This may have been an error as it is nowhere to be seen on the 100 today, nor does it appear on any of the streaming charts.
Possibly some of Kate's streams were mis-attributed?

[braindeadpj]

Low sales / consumption figures all round this week.

You say that but except for Kate, the top 5 singles have all increased in sales compared with Wednesday's update last week. Of course if there is less missing data this week, then that may explain it. Both LF System and George have increased by over 15%. The other increases are smaller (2.5% for Harry and 5.5% for Beyonce). Kate has declined by 6%. Depending on her real sales, but if they are less than 3,000 Kate is ahead of LF System just (if it is 3,000 real sales then she is only around 100 ahead). There is a good chance that LF System will be the real no.1 this week.
Album sales are definitely lower this week. Harry's declined by nearly 15% while Ed declined by 7%.

39 Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia ^

[braindeadpj]

So LF System has increased by 5,285 'sales' (~30%) compared to last week while Kate has increased by 1,255 (an 11% increase though this includes ACR-adjusted streams so could be closer to 20%?); in fact the whole top 5 has increased so far compared to last week... Kate probably has a slender lead in real terms but that may be overturned during the week with LF System getting the real no.1 - only time will tell.... I look forward to the wednesday update for clearer information....

Is it a real increase or was data missing from the previous week's update that is included here?

Metallica are still at 23. Reset, probably.

Kim Petras suddenly appears at 74 even though the song was on Amazon from the beginning of June - it was for Pride Month, nothing to do with cashing in on Stranger Things. Some playlist shenanigans happening?
