Olivia Dean’s remarkable rise continues this week as The Art of Loving returns to No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, securing a sixth non-consecutive week at the summit. The milestone arrives on the heels of Dean’s Best New Artist win at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards.
On the Singles Chart, Dave and Tems reclaim No. 1 with “Raindance,” earning their second non-consecutive week at the summit. The track previously reached the top before being edged out by Harry Styles’ “Aperture.” This week, the collaboration wrestles the crown back after a tightly contested race. RAYE’s “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” finishes just behind at No. 2, followed by Djo’s “End of Beginning” at No. 3 and Styles’ former chart-topper at No. 4.
Elsewhere on the Albums Chart, physical formats make a decisive impact. Lily Allen’s West End Girl, nominated for BRITs British Album of the Year, surges 92 places to return to its previous No. 2 peak following its vinyl and CD release.
New entries and personal bests round out the top tier. The Molotovs’ Wasted On Youth debuts at No. 3, marking the Cartlidge siblings’ first-ever Albums Chart appearance. Don Toliver also posts a career milestone as OCTANE enters at No. 4, becoming his highest-charting solo album in the UK to date.
