Jamie T clashes with Chase & Status in high-stakes battle for UK Number One album

Jamie T is on track to secure his second consecutive UK Number 1 album with his latest release, Ghosts (100 Days Of Morning). The follow-up to his chart-topping 2022 record The Theory Of Whatever sees the South London singer-songwriter holding a lead in the midweek chart update, marking a victorious return for the artist.

However, electronic music duo Chase & Status are offering strong competition with their seventh studio set, Generic Everything, currently sitting at Number 2. Featuring high-profile collaborations with Little Simz, J Hus, and Giggs, Saul Milton and Will Kennard are aiming to secure their first UK chart-topper after previously peaking at Number 2 with 2011’s No More Idols and 2013’s Brand New Machine.

Blues rock group The Temperance Movement are aiming for their highest chart position yet, with New Promise Land Incorporated standing at Number 3. Australian pop sensation Troye Sivan follows close behind at Number 4 with She’s The Best, an album boosted by his recent hit single Party. Meanwhile, Wigan outfit The Lilacs look set to claim a Top 5 spot with their debut release, Keeping Up With The Joneses.
