Columbia’s George Ezra—about whom you may have read in our Vibe-Raters roundup—ascends to #1 on the U.K. album chart this week; his Wanted on Voyage is one of three albums from Jason Iley’s Sony U.K. to make the British leaderboard (four Sony tracks, two of them by Ezra, grace the singles rundown as well). Capitol’s Sam Smith, meanwhile, edges up to #2.

George Ezra: Bon Voyage.

Top debuts include singer-songwriter Jamie T’s enjoyably titled Carry on the Grudge, an Oasis reissue, one of Prince’s two new albums (the other bows at #11) and the Genesis box set R-Kive, which runs the gamut from “Supper’s Ready” to “Easy Lover.”

It should also be noted that the British continue to feel Barbra Streisand is quite like butter.

The singles chart finds U.S. chart champ Meghan Trainor jumping 32 spots to rule the roost; the self-esteem-boosting anthem "All About That Bass" is one of the year’s top-selling tracks.

Meghan Trainor: Turn Up the "Bass."

Two other Yank giants—the “Bang Bang” girls (last week’s #1) and Taylor Swift—are just behind. Meanwhile, George Ezra now has two songs in the Top 10.

The week’s top debut is “Sunlight,” the EDM breakout by Magician f/Years & Years, which (our astute readers will recall) made the BBC Radio 1 A List a couple of weeks back.
