Written by worldOneFm on March 9, 2025
Sabrina Carpenter takes Short N’ Sweet back to the summit for a fourth non-consecutive week as she brings its namesake tour to the UK.
Following her performance and Global Success win at last weekend’s BRITs, Sabrina sees her sixth studio record jump two in its 28th week on chart.
Brighton-born metalcore four-piece Architects net this week’s highest new entry, and their second Top 10 LP, with eleventh studio collection The Sky, The Earth & All Between (2).
The band, currently comprising Dan Searle, Sam Carter, Alex Dean and Adam Christianson, previously topped the Albums Chart with 2021’s For Those That Wish To Exist, and have also seen Albums Chart success with 2011 debut The Here And Now (57), 2012’s Daybreaker (42), 2014’s Lost Forever // Lost Together (16), 2016 release All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us (15), 2018’s Holy Hell (18), plus 2022 LPs Live at the Royal Albert Hall (65) and the classic symptoms of a broken spirit (18).
The Sky, The Earth & All Between is straight in at Number 1 on the Official Record Store Chart, the most popular album of the past seven days in UK independent record shops.
The Lathums land at Number 3 with Matter Does Not Define, their third consecutive Top 5 album.
The fourth studio LP from Wigan-born rockers Alex Moore, Scott Concepcion, Ryan Durrans and Matty Murphy, follows their previous two chart-toppers, 2021’s How Beautiful Life Can Be and 2023’s From Nothing To A Little Bit More. It’s the band’s fourth UK Top 40 LP overall, alongside 2020 debut The Memories We Make, which peaked at Number 14.
Wilmslow-formed three-piece Doves see their sixth studio record Constellations For The Lonely debut at Number 5 this week.
Across a career spanning over 25 years, Doves previously enjoyed Albums Chart success with 2000’s Lost Souls (16), 2002’s The Last Broadcast (1), 2003’s Lost Sides (50), 2005 release Some Cities (1), 2009’s Kingdom Of Rust (2), 2010 hits compilation The Places Between: The Best Of Doves (12) and 2020’s The Universal Want (1).
Congratulations to former The Vamps frontman Bradley Simpson, who secures his first-ever solo Top 10 album with The Panic Years (7).
Accepting his Official Top 10 Award from Official Charts, Bradley Simpson says:
“This is wild, thank you to Official Charts and to anyone who got the album. I love you all, the support’s been incredible.
“It’s a body of work I’m really proud of. I didn’t put any expectations on this album, so it’s a complete surprise that it’s gone into the Top 10! The fans have been so supportive of it. I’m going to celebrate with a beer; seeing my pals and chilling out.”
As a member of The Vamps, Bradley previously scored five Top 40 LPs, including two chart-toppers: 2017’s Night & Day and 2020’s Cherry Blossom.
Following the release of its 25th anniversary vinyl, Oasis’s 2000 chart-topper Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants returns to the Top 20 for the first time since its original release (11). The Mancunian rock legends’ fourth studio album spawned three Top 5 singles: Go Let It Out (1), Who Feels Love? (4) and Sunday Morning Call (4).
Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants also tops the Official Vinyl Albums Chart; the best-seller of the week on wax.
Following her show-stopping performance at last weekend’s BRITs, and the record’s release on vinyl, Lola Young’s second album This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway soars to new highs; breaking into the Top 20 for the first time since its June 2024 release (16).
K-pop idol LISA claims her first solo UK Albums Chart entry, as Alter Ego lands at Number 20. She follows the success of BLACKPINK bandmate ROSÉ, who debuted at Number 4 with rosie in December 2024.
Also reaping the rewards of last weekend’s BRITs is Teddy Swims. He sees his two-part LP I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy on the up: Part 2 lifts 14 (21), as Part 1 jumps 23 (30).
