Good. I’d rather that got another week at the top than TLOAS. Shame none of the many new albums last week got pushed back a week

She's still #1 in the Wednesday mids, and with a good lead against Taylor who is #2. She's currently 5,058 ahead of Taylor.

Finally listened to this. Back half of the album definitely weaker but has some deep cut gems and Man I Need is quite the banger actually.

Yeah, I listened to this with my other half about a month ago and it does get really dull towards the end.

Nice album though! The sort of thing you can stick on in the bath.

Another week at #2 in Australia on the albums chart. Also certified Gold.

Australia:

Albums:

#2 - The Art Of Loving - Gold

Singles:

#1- Man I Need - Platinum

#6 - So Easy (To Fall In Love) - Gold

#8 - Nice To Each Other - Platinum

#17 - A Couple Of Minutes

#22 - Baby Steps

#25 - Let Alone The One You Love

#49 - Rein Me In with Sam Fender - Gold

"The Art of Loving" returns to #1 in the UK Albums Chart, giving it a second week at the top spot!

Is this just simply due to word of mouth or it becoming established or due to physicals at this time of year? There’s so many of her album tracks doing well still on apple!

For me it gets better at the end after a bit of a dip after Man I Need. The final two tracks are great, I really love I've Seen It.

Man I Need is also at #4 in the US! She’s got a few others climbing too.

Massive!

Yeah listening to it in full finally rather than just what autoplay thrown at me, it's a decent enough album but I wouldn't say thats a long running album right there if I was going in blind the strongest tracks are definitely what's already charted

To me there's no standout moment in the album its all very one tone which isn't for me
