The trio — made up of Simon Neil, James Johnston and Ben Johnston — has hit the summit three times previously with Opposites (2013), Ellipsis (2016) and A Celebration of Endings (2020). A number of other records — including Puzzle (2007), Only Revolutions (2009) and The Myth of the Happily Ever After (2021) — have peaked inside the top five during the band’s lengthy career.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend is a non-mover and closes the week at No. 2. Following its release in late August, the LP spent two weeks in the top spot and is yet to fall beneath the runner-up spot.

Lola Young’s third LP, I’m Only F-king Myself, lands at No. 3, her highest placing on the Official Albums Chart yet. Her 2024 album, This Wasn’t Meant for You Anyway, peaked at No. 16 and spawned U.K. No. 1 single “Messy.”

The Divine Comedy scores its highest charing LP in more than 26 years as Rainy Sunday Afternoon closes at No. 4. The band’s leader, Neil Hannon, has had success in recent years as a songwriter, most notably for the music to Timothée Chalamet-starring musical Wonka in 2023.

Ed Sheeran spends a second consecutive week inside the top five with his new album album, Play. The LP, his 8th overall, landed at No. 1 last week and at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.

There are also debuts in the top 40 for Joy Crookes (Juniper, No. 13), Sammi Virji (Same Day Cleaning, No. 26) and Cardi B (Am I the Drama?, No. 26).
