1/6/20

Lewis Capaldi and Stormzy are battling it out for the U.K.’s Official Albums #1 this week with just 400 combined sales between them at the halfway point. Over on singles, Justin Bieber has the highest new entry at #8.

Capaldi’s Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent (Virgin EMI) is #1, leading the way on physical sales; Stormzy’s Heavy Is The Head (Atlantic/Merky) is ahead on downloads and streaming.

The former chart-topper from Tom Walker, What A Time To Be Alive (Relentless), is up three to #7.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles midweeks, Stormzy, Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy remain at #1 with “Own It” (Atlantic/Merky). Bieber is on course for the highest new entry of the week with latest single “Yummy” (Virgin EMI) starting at #8.
