Spread across 23 songs, the LP features assists from SZA, J. Cole, Chief Keef, Sexyy Red, Snoop Dogg, Sade, Teezo Touchdown, Bad Bunny, Yeat, 21 Savage, Lil Yachty and PARTYNEXTDOOR. His U.K. albums chart leaders to date include Views (2016), Scorpion (2018), Dark Lane Demo Tapes (2020) and Certified Lover Boy (2021); his last solo full-length recording, Honestly, Nevermind, peaked at No. 2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart in June 2022.
Eyeing a No. 2 debut on the national survey is Nines with Crop Circle 3 (Zino). If it holds its course, Crop Circle 3 would become the British rapper’s second top 10 album in less than six months, after Crop Circle 2 hit No. 2 in May.
Roger Waters’ Dark Side of the Moon Redux (Cooking Vinyl) has come into view on the midweek chart, and is set to spin in at No. 3. The reissue celebrates the legacy of Pink Floyd’s masterpiece Dark Side Of The Moon from 1973, which has logged 560 weeks on national chart and is recognized as one of the most successful British albums of all time.
Pink Floyd has six U.K. No. 1 albums, though Dark Side isn’t one of them; it peaked at No. 2 in 1973.
Completing an all-new top four on the Official Chart Update is Sufjan Stevens’ Javelin (Asthmatic Kitty). If Javelin flies in at No. 4, it would give the veteran U.S. indie singer and songwriter his career best chart position in the U.K., bettering the No. 6 for 2015’s Carrie & Lowell.
Finally, Joel Corry‘s Another Friday Night (Atlantic) is set for a new peak position, up 45-6 on the chart blast, while new releases from Stornoway (Dig The Mountain! at No. 14 via Cooking Vinyl), MC Slim (Still Working 2 at No. 16 via Warner Records) and Joe Bonamassa (Blues Deluxe: Volume 2 at No. 19 via Provogue) should land U.K. top 40 debuts.
All will be revealed when the Official U.K. Albums Chart is published late Friday, Oct. 13.

Jung Kook’s “3D” (via BigHit Entertainment) with Jack Harlow bows at No. 5 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, published Friday, Oct. 6, behind the weeks-long leader, Doja Cat‘s “Paint The Town Red” (Ministry of Sound).

Historically, the only other Korean solo artist to have bagged two U.K. top 10 singles is PSY, with 2012’s “Gangnam Style” (No. 1) and 2013’s “Gentleman” (No. 10).
Meanwhile, Doja Cat checks in for a fifth straight week at No. 1 with “Paint The Town Red,” which holds off a feisty challenge from Kenya Grace’s “Strangers” (FFRR), unchanged at No. 2, and Tate McCrae’s “Greedy” (Ministry of Sound), up 5-3 for a new peak position.
South African singer Tyla enjoys her first U.K. top 10 as “Water” (RCA) rises 16-10, while Nigeria-born Afrobeats star Burna Boy is moving on up with “City Boys” (Atlantic), his 13th top 40. “City Boy” improves 17-14.
U.S. singer and songwriter Mitski is close behind and climbing fast with “My Love Mine All Mine” (Dead Oceans), rocketing 34-15 for a new peak.
Finally, Ed Sheeran has his 62nd U.K. top 40 hit with “American Town” (Gingerbread Man), new at No. 27. It’s lifted from his seventh and latest studio album Autumn Variations, the current U.K. No. 1 LP.
Ed Sheeran extends his perfect U.K. albums chart record as Autumn Variations (via Gingerbread Man) debuts at No. 1.
Produced with the National’s Aaron Dessner, Autumn Variations bows at the summit of the Official U.K. Albums Chart, published Friday, Oct. 6, for the Brit’s seventh straight leader.
The leader at the halfway stage, when it dominated its nearest competitor by more than two-combined-sales-to-one, Autumn Variations is Sheeran’s second leader this year. It finishes the U.K. chart week as the best-seller on wax, and follows national No. 1s with his 2011 debut + (plus), 2014’s x (multiply), 2017’s ÷ (divide), 2019’s No. 6 Collaborations Project, 2021’s = (equals) and 2023’s – (subtract).

Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore LP Guts (Geffen) holds at No. 2 for a third consecutive week, while Jorja Smith enjoys a podium finish with her second studio album Falling Or Flying (FAMM), new at No. 3. Smith, the 2018 BRITs Critics Choice award winner, has now landed three titles in the U.K. top 10, a tally that includes her 2018 debut Lost & Found (No. 3) and 2021 EP Be Right Back (No. 9).
Also new to the top tier is The Harmony Codex (SW Records), the third solo album from Porcupine Tree‘s Steven Wilson. It’s new at No. 4 on the U.K. chart, matching the peak of his previous effort, 2021’s The Future Bites (2017’s To the Bone reached No. 3).
Meanwhile, U.S. rock act Black Stone Cherry nabs a fourth U.K. top 10 album with Screamin’ at the Sky (Mascot), new at No. 6.

When the “Shape Of You” singer last toured Australia, in 2018, also with Frontier Touring, he shifted more than 1 million tickets, a feat that wiped Dire Straits’ record for a single trek (950,000) that had stood for since the 1980s.
On the latest ARIA Albums Chart, the podium is completed by Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts (at No. 2 via Geffen/Universal) and the Weeknd’s The Highlights (at No. 3 via Universal), both unmoved from the previous week.
Meanwhile, U.S. pop-rock outfit Lany makes its first appearance on the ARIA Top 50 with A Beautiful Blur (Virgin/Universal), new at No. 4. That result crushes Lany’s previous best result, No. 53 for their 2017 self-titled debut LP.
Country music has been hot on Australia’s charts this year, and homegrown singer James Johnston gets in on the action with Raised Like That (Ditto Music), his debut album. Raised Like That starts at No. 7 on the ARIA Albums Chart, published Oct. 6. Its title track dropped in 2021 and became the fastest-ever debut single by an Australian country singer to reach one million streams, ARIA reports.
Also new to the top tier is Kimosabè, the fourth studio album by Angus Stone’s Dope Lemon project. It’s new at No. 9, and follows Rose Pink Cadillac (No. 2 in 2022), Smooth Big Cat (No. 2 in 2019) and Honey Bones (No. 11 in 2016). As a member of sibling duo Angus & Julia Stone, he claimed No. 1s with Down The Way in 2010 and Angus & Julia Stone in 2014, and, as a solo artist, reached No. 2 with 2012’s Broken Brights.
On Thursday Oct. 5, BMG announced it had acquired the Dope Lemon recordings catalog from Stone, in a deal that included those three earlier album and the 2017 EP Hounds Tooth. BMG released Kimosabè through a new recording deal.
Last week’s leader, Kylie Minogue‘s 16th studio album Tension (Liberator Music/BMG), tumbles 1-10.
Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Doja Cat’s “Paint The Town Red” (RCA/Sony) enters a seventh week at No. 1, ahead of Tate McRae’s “Greedy” (up 3-2 for a new peak via RCA/Sony), and Kenya Grace’s “Strangers” (down 3-2 via Warner).
“Paint The Town Red” moves up the list of longest-reigning No. 1 tracks this year. Doja’s hit draws level with Dave and Central Cee’s “Sprinter” for third on a tally that’s led by Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (12 weeks), and Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” (eight weeks).
Finally, BTS’ Jung Kook has the top debut on Australia’s singles chart this week with “3D” (Warner/Universal) featuring Jack Harlow. It’s new at No. 7. The K-pop star’s “Seven” featuring Latto peaked at No. 2 earlier this year, and impacts the top 40, holding at No. 38. Harlow now has a fourth top 10 in Australia, a list that includes “What’s Poppin” (No. 8 in 2020), “Industry Baby” with Lil Nas X (No. 4 in 2021) and “First Class,” which flew all the way to No. 1 for a two-week stint in 2022.
BTS star Jung Kook is on track for his high-charting solo single in the U.K. as “3D” makes a bright start.Based on midweek sales and streaming data published by the Official Charts Company, “3D” (via BigHit Entertainment), which features Louisville rapper Jack Harlow, is set to bow at No. 2, for the week’s highest debut.

“3D,” which leads Billboard’s new music poll this week with 62% of the vote, appears to be closing the gap on the incumbent, Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” (Ministry of Sound). In an earlier update from the OCC, “3D” entered at No. 3, before leapfrogging Kenya Grace’s “Strangers” (FFRR), now appearing likely to dip 2-3 on the national singles tally.
In the meantime, Doja Cat’s hit remains in the box seat for a fifth consecutive week at No. 1 in the U.K.
Jung Kook made U.K. chart history earlier this year with “Seven,” his collaboration with Latto. The track landed at No. 3 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, published July 21, for the highest-charting debut by a solo Korean act.
All seven members of the BTS – Jin, Jimin, Suga, Jung Kook, RM, V and J-Hope – have shared solo material.
First, bandmate j-hope set the mark with his J. Cole collaboration “On The Street,” peaking at No. 37 in the U.K. Then Jimin bettered it, nabbing his own top 40 appearance with “Set Me Free Pt. 2” (No. 30 peak). Jimin then reset the bar with a top 10 for “Like Crazy,” peaking at No. 8 in March.
If “3D” holds its spot, or goes one better, it would give Jung Kook a higher U.K. chart position than any single released by BTS. The K-pop phenomenon has a peak of No. 3 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, achieved on three occasions – with 2020’s “Dynamite,” plus “Butter” and “My Universe” with Coldplay (both from 2021).
The next-best debut on the U.K. chart should belong to Ed Sheeran, with “American Town” forecast to debut at No. 23, and “Magical” poised to enter at No. 37, for what would be the English singer and songwriter’s 62nd and 63rd top 40 appearances. “American Town” and “Magical” are lifted from Sheeran’s Autumn Variations (Gingerbread Man), which is sailing to No. 1 on the U.K. albums chart.
The Official U.K. Singles Chart is published late Friday, Oct. 6.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, Doja Cat’s Scarlet starts at No. 4 while Zach Bryan’s new Boys of Faith bows at No. 8.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Oct. 7, 2023-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Oct. 3. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.
Of Nostalgia’s 88,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Sept. 28, SEA units comprise 87,500 (equaling 124.51 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 18 songs), album sales comprise 500, and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
Nostalgia’s 88,000 sum is the smallest total for a No. 1 album in seven months, since SZA’s SOS led the list dated March 4 with 87,000 units.
Olivia Rodrigo’s chart-topping Guts holds at No. 2 on the new Billboard 200 (87,500 equivalent album units; down 34%) and Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 One Thing at a Time climbs one rung to No. 3 (73,000; down 3%).
Doja Cat captures her third top 10 album on the Billboard 200, all notched consecutively, as her new studio set Scarlet starts at No. 4 with nearly 72,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 65,000 (equaling 88.35 million on-demand official audio and video streams of the set’s 17 songs), album sales comprise 6,000 (the set was only available as a digital download, CD and in a deluxe boxed set with a T-shirt and CD) and TEA units comprise 1,000. The digital and streaming edition of the album was available in a standard 15-song edition and a deluxe 17-track version.
Scarlet was preceded by three charting songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “Demons,” “Paint the Town Red” and “Attention.” “Paint the Town Red” became her second No. 1 on the Hot 100 on the Sept. 16-dated chart (following 2020’s “Say So,” featuring Nicki Minaj).
Doja Cat previously hit the top 10 on the Billboard 200 with Planet Her (No. 2 in 2021) and Hot Pink (No. 9 in 2020).
Zach Bryan’s chart-topping self-titled album falls 3-5 on the new Billboard 200 (66,000 equivalent album units; down 16%), SZA’s SOS dips 5-6 (49,000; down 7%) and Travis Scott’s former leader Utopia descends 6-7 (just over 44,000; down 6%).
A second Bryan album appears in the top 10, as his new five-song Boys of Faith project bows at No. 8 with 43,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 39,000 (equaling 50.35 million on-demand official audio and video streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 4,000 and TEA units comprise 500. Boys of Faith is the third top 10-charting effort for Bryan, and second in 2023, following his self-titled No. 1, which debuted at the summit just four weeks earlier. He has also hit the top 10 with the No. 5-peaking American Heartbreak in 2022.
Rounding out the top 10 on the new Billboard 200 is Peso Pluma’s Génesis (moving 7-9 with 43,000 equivalent album units earned; down 7%) and Taylor Swift’s former leader Midnights (8-10 with 42,000; up less than 1%).

“All hail the queen,” comments ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd. “On behalf of everyone at ARIA, and as a superfan, it is my absolute pleasure to congratulate Kylie for her fourth consecutive No. 1 album debut. It’s a thrill to see an ARIA Hall of Fame artist continue to dominate, reinvent and represent Australian music on such a global scale. We can’t wait to celebrate her success at this year’s awards.”
Across her 35-year recording career, Kylie has bagged 10 No. 1 singles, and collected 16 ARIA Awards.
She can add to that tally at the 2023 ARIA Awards this November, where’s she’s nominated for four categories – best solo artist, best pop release, best independent release and song of the year, all for “Padam Padam,” the first single lifted from Tension.
Back in 2011, Minogue was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, with then-prime minister Julia Gillard doing the honors.

The set also this week cracked the top 5 of the DSP’s Top Albums Debut USA and Top Albums Debut Global Chart.
Kylie’s Tension isn’t the only new arrival on the ARIA Chart, published Sept. 29. Homegrown indie rock act Holy Holy debuts at No. 4 with Cellophane (Wonderlick/Sony), the group’s fifth studio album and third top 10. That’s an equal career high for Holy Holy, drawing level with Hello My Beautiful World, which hit No. 4 in 2021.
