Official Charts Report

HUGEL’s Movin’ To The Sun aims to knock Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s record-breaking Rein Me In off the top.

Beginning the week at Number 2, the French DJ’s hypnotic summer banger sits just behind Rein Me In, with the sole intention of becoming the first track to topple the giants after nine consecutive weeks of domination.

Will we finally see a new Number 1 come Friday?

Following the announcement of their fifth studio album Dopamine Chamber arriving in October, Fontaines D.C. could find the first single from the record Marianne become their highest charting single to date (15). Simultaneously, it is set to join 2025’s It’s Amazing To Be Young as their second Top 40 accolade.

Snow Patrol and Kylie Minogue’s legendary link-up on These Alarms could make its debut Top 40 appearance after a limited edition 7” vinyl was released (21).

There may also be a first main chart entry for Calvin Harris’ Satisfy featuring Jazzy, which is currently on course to boogie a tasty 40 places (18). Similarly, Sonny Fodera and Becky Hill link-up on Say Something begins its campaign to break the coveted standings, sitting at Number 38 in this latest update.

Elsewhere, a number of tracks are eyeing new peaks. These include Stella Lefty’s Boston (3), Great Expectation from SIENNA SPIRO (6), Sheffield DJ Silva Bumpa’s On 2nite (8), Malcolm Todd’s Earrings (13) and bloodstream courtesy of Alyssa Grace (16).

Westside Cowboy, and a (wannabe) Cowboy from the West!

Will be an interesting battle in the album charts, think Brandon Flowers will edge it

It’s gonna close between Sam & Brandon, I’m rooting for Sam

I think Paul Heaton will be the frontrunner on the albums, his last one did 30k

just had a tribute night on BBC2 as well.

Sam ain’t holding back, this week will be delightful

Expecting -

#1 Paul Heaton

#2 Brandon Flowers

#3 Sam Smith

I think the #1 will be a battle between Paul & Brandon

Brandon Flowers has yet to miss #1 with any of his studio albums (solo or with The Killers) - can certainly see him losing to Paul Heaton this time but not sure.

Yeah only way Sam will get it is if their variant sell in the bucket load none of its 5 singles have touched even top 100

As we know though you don't need to have a single enter the charts to get a #1 album

That is true still cant see it doing well on streaming side

It was selling butt loads before Brandon & Paul come in.

There was a time all four versions were doing 300 to 400 simultaneously on Amazon, not saying Sam has it in the bag but their no push over either

Incredibly bitter of me but reading this after Madonna getting a #1 album and 3 top 40 hits (1 top 10!) from it 11 years after Sam blocked Rebel Heart is soooo satisfying

Vulgar is a bigger bop than anything on Confessions II though :D

I think the same and im happy to see him number 1 if he does but i would prefer if it was Brandon Flowers.

Brandon’s Blood Records exclusive hasn’t sold out (yet!) - it’s limited to 2k and sold 1.5k so far and been available about 2 weeks so far.

He always sells really well but can see Paul just edging it - can see it being a bit of a battle.

Saying that I’ll be wrong and they’ll both underperform 😅
