The Midwest Princess is about to be crowned in the U.K.
Based on midweek sales and streaming data captured by the Official Charts Company, Chappell Roan is heading for her first No. 1 with The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (Island), her long-brewing 2023 debut LP.
Released October last year, Roan’s rise has been at times brisk, and blistering, following the breakthrough of her single “Good Luck, Babe!,” currently at No. 2 on the Official U.K. Chart; a support slot on Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS tour; and the Willard, Missouri native’s explosive set at Lollapalooza, which a spokesperson has described as the festival’s biggest daytime set ever.
According to the OCC, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess lifts 3-1 on the Official Chart Update, thanks to the release of a vinyl variant. Two cuts from the LP have impacted the U.K. Top 40: “HOT TO GO!“ (peaking at No. 19) and “Red Wine Supernova” (No. 38).
Charli xcx’s BRAT (Atlantic) summer continues to heat up. The British artist and producer’s sixth studio album is forecast to rise 6-2, its equal peak position, as the single “Guess” jostles to become the U.K.’s No. 1 single.
Taylor Swift’s former leader The Tortured Poets Department (EMI) should complete the albums chart podium, up 4-3 in its 16th week on the tally.
Following its official release, White Stripes frontman Jack White could net his sixth U.K. top 10 album with No Name (Third Man), new at No. 6 on the chart blast. The White Stripes frontman got tongues wagging last month when vinyl copies of the record were mysteriously handed out to customers at Third Man Records in three cities.
Finally, Ye — the artist formerly known as Kanye West — and Ty Dolla $ign could nab a top 10 debut with VULTURES 2 (YZY), which surprised dropped on early Saturday after plenty of uncertainty. It’s predicted to debut at No. 9. The first VULTURES album peaked at No. 2 in February.
All will be revealed when the Official U.K. Albums Chart is published late Friday, Aug. 9.
