It’s no certainty what next week’s U.K. #1 will be judging by what’s streeting on Friday, but RCA rock act Bring Me The Horizon are in with a fighting chance. Promo for That’s the Spirit, the band’s fifth album, and second on RCA (Columbia in the U.S.), kicked off with an exclusive Spotify promo campaign. The album's second single Throne is currently sitting on the BBC Radio 1 A List, with 64 plays across all U.K. radio this week. RCA is hoping to reach Top 3 in the U.K. and beat the band's chart-topping, gold-selling predecessor, 2013’s Sempiternal, with 300k+ sales (platinum).

Over at Island, 2006 X Factor winner Leona Lewis (whose second single Bleeding Love, penned by Ryan Tedder and Jesse McCartney, is possibly one of the best pop songs ever written, imho) will release her first album via Universal after a seven-year stint at Sony. Island President Darcus Beese has co-A&R’d the new record, titled I Am, with his Head of A&R, Louis Bloom. Since graduating from The X Factor, Lewis has released four studio albums, clocking up sales of over 20m globally, but the split with Sony came after a tumultuous period for Lewis sales-wise. Claiming that SYCO was “killing [her] creative spirit,” Lewis left the label in 2014 and signed a four-album deal with Island; she’s signed to Def Jam in the U.S. Beese has global ambitions but will be concentrating on his "back garden" first. I Am’s title track has had 664 plays this week across U.K. radio and the studio versions of two tracks I Got You and Ladders were premiered in full at BBC Radio 2 last week.

Also in the running for a high chart placing is the ninth studio album from Welsh rockers Stereophonics, Keep the Village Alive. It's a follow up to the band's #3 Graffiti on the Train, issued via their own Stylus Records in 2013, which sold over 60k in its first week of release. Elsewhere, dance trio Nero, signed to the label founded by Chase & Status, MTA Records (it’s on Mercury in the U.S.), could also be set for Top 5. Their debut album Welcome Reality hit #1 on the U.K. Albums Chart in 2011, and their second, Between II Worlds, is out this Friday. The LP's second single, Two Minds, which premiered on Annie Mac's show in June, is currently on the B List at Radio 1, with 72 plays this week across all U.K. radio. Let the battle commence.
