U.K. MIDWEEKS: A FIRST FOR PETERS

Singer-songwriter Maisie Peters is on track to score her first U.K. #1 album, while Dave & Central Cee are about to claim a full month atop the Official Singles Chart.

Peters’ second album, The Good Witch (Gingerbread Man/Atlantic), has taken the lead on the Official Albums Chart.

Acts that played Glastonbury over the weekend are also flying up the album chart. Lewis Capaldi’s former #1, Broken by Desire To Be Heavenly Sent (EMI), is on track to rebound 12 places to #4, and his Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent is up 22 to #12. Elton John’s Diamonds (Mercury) rises to #5, followed by Arctic Monkeys’ classic AM (Domino) at #6. Foo Fighters’ But Here We Are (Columbia) is #16.

Two new entries vie for Top 10 placement: Young Thug’s Business Is Business (Young Stoner Life/300) at #9 and Kelly Clarkson’s Chemistry (Atlantic) at #10. That would be K-Clark's highest-charting album in the U.K. since Piece to Piece hit #6 in 2015.

Kim Petras’ major label debut, Feed the Beast (Island), is roaring toward a Top 40 debut. It's potentially her first project to chart in the U.K.

At singles, Dave & Central Cee’s “Sprinter” (Live Yours/Neighbourhood) is looking to equal the run of Dave’s career-best chart-topper, “Starlight,” at four weeks.

After securing her first Top 10 entry last week, DJ Hannah Laing is angling for a new peak of #8 with “Good Love” (WUGD), featuring vocalist RoRo. Stormzy and Fredo’s first collab, “Toxic Trait” (Def Jam), is #9 and could become the week’s highest new entry. Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” (Warner) is eyeing a new peak of #11. Nathan Dawe, Joel Corry and Ella Henderson’s “0800 HEAVEN” (Atlantic), Anne-Marie & Shania Twain’s “Unhealthy” (Asylum/EMI) and Jonas Brothers’ “Waffle House” (Republic), meanwhile, are on track to break into the Top 20.
