Yungblud Storms to Third Consecutive U.K. No. 1 Album With ‘Idols’

Yungblud has scored his third consecutive No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart with his ambitious double LP Idols (June 27).

The British rocker, real name Dominic Harrison, hit the top spot in 2020 with Weird! and again in 2022 with his self-titled third album. His 2019 EP The Underrated Youth peaked at No. 6. The record will be released in two parts, with the street date for the second part of Idols yet to be confirmed.

Following the release of Idols, Harrison headlined his Bludfest festival in Milton Keynes, England, last Saturday (June 21) for a second consecutive year. He was joined by Billy Idol during the headline set, with a supporting bill including Blackbear, Denzel Curry and more.

Recent Billboard U.K. cover star Loyle Carner’s hopefully ! ends the week at No. 2, his highest-ever spot. His previous peak was with 2022’s hugo which landed at No. 3. On Friday evening, he headlined The Other Stage at Glastonbury Festival alongside Charli XCX and The Prodigy; Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young and The 1975 will top the main Pyramid Stage.

Haim’s I Quit hits the top five, finishing the week at No. 3. I Quit follows their previous album releases, 2014’s Days Are Gone (No. 1), 2017’s Something To Tell You (No. 2) and 2020’s Women In Music Pt III (No. 1).

Benson Boone hits a new career peak with his second studio album, American Heart, closing at No. 4. His debut LP, Fireworks & Rollerblades (2023) — which features mega-hit “Beautiful Things” — peaked at No. 16.

Elsewhere in the top 40, there’s debuts for Aitch’s 4 (No. 7), and Sheffield heavy metal band Maleovolence’s Where Only the Truth Is Spoken (No. 32).
