The UK Official Albums Chart midweek results are in, and Royal Blood are currently on course for their fourth consecutive Number One.
The duo’s ace new 4/5-rated LP Back To The Water Below is impressively outselling its nearest competitor (The 1975) by two-to-one, following in the footsteps of their 2014 self-titled debut, 2017’s How Did We Get So Dark? and 2021’s Typhoons in sitting at the top spot.
Elsewhere, Biffy Clyro men Simon Neil and Mike Vennart are also enjoying Top 10 success with Empire State Bastard’s crushing Rivers Of Heresy, which is at Number Seven in the midweeks.
The full chart results will land at 5:45pm on Friday, September 8, so keep your eyes peeled – as well as keeping your fingers crossed for Royal Blood and ESB!
