Arcade Fire are on course to knock Katy Perry off the top of the Official Albums Chart this weekend, while Union J and Lorde are headed for the Top 5!
Arcade Fire could be headed for their second Number 1 UK album this weekend, according to today’s Official Albums Chart Update.
The Canadian indie rockers’ fourth album Reflektor is set to knock Katy Perry’s Prism off the top spot after just one week. Reflektor is currently outselling Prism (Number 2) by nearly three copies to one as of today’s midway point.
Meanwhile, Josh, JJ, Jaymi and George, AKA Union J are ready to follow up the success of their Top 10 singles Carry You and Beautiful Life with a Top 10 album. Their self-titled debut is at Number 3 today, and a mere 600 copies behind Katy Perry.
16-year-old New Zealand singer/songwriter Lorde, who topped the Official Singles Chart on Sunday with Royals, is at Number 4 with her debut album Pure Heroine, while James Blunt’s Moon Landing slides three places to Number 5.
Reflektor Slay. 9.2 Pitchfork, 81 Metacritic (their lowest score to date unfortunately, but still universal acclaim). #1 Billboard 200. I'm so happy for them, and above that so happy they kept to standard and released some of their best material this time around.
