‘Konnichiwa’ is up against James Blake and Radiohead’s respective returns in the battle for the top spot.

Skepta is Number One in the mid-week Album Chart

Skepta is riding higher than ever this week - the mid-week Album Chart Update sees him sitting pretty at #1.

‘Konnichiwa’, the grime star’s long-awaited new album, was released Friday and is currently sitting 2,000 copies ahead of the #2 entry, Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’. Hot on both their heels, though, is Radiohead’s ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ - despite only being available for a day at the time of the count, it had already rocketed to #3 with 15,000 units sold.

Elsewhere in the albums chart, James Blake’s ‘The Colour In Anything’ is at #15 following Friday’s surprise release, and last week’s number one ‘Views’ (by one Mr. Drake, obviously) drops to #4. ANOHNI’s ‘Hopelessness’ is at #14.
