Taylor Swift held Charli XCX’s ‘Brat’ off the top of the UK Albums Chart this week thanks to the new UK-only editions of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.Charli released her sixth studio album on June 7, and just a few days later shared the deluxe edition, which included three extra tracks in the form of ‘Hello Goodbye’, ‘Guess’ and ‘Spring Breakers’.And it might have been on course to be the singer’s second Number One album in her home country, after 2022’s ‘Crash’, but it was kept off the top spot by the new version of Swift’s all-conquering record.‘The Tortured Poets Department’ claimed its sixth non-consecutive week at Number One on Friday (June 14), thanks in part to a new UK-exclusive digital format that included previously unreleased live recordings. It makes it her longest-running Number One album in the UK to date.With the Eras Tour arriving in the UK last week, several of Taylor’s albums are rising in the charts, with ‘Lover’ and ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ both also returning to the Top 10 this week.‘Brat’ does, however, boast the biggest opening week of any Charli XCX album so far, eclipsing the first week sales of ‘Crash’, despite charting a place lower.

Addison Rae is getting ready for her next moves as a pop star!

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music If there was one place to be in New York on Tuesday night, it was Charli XCX’s show at Brooklyn’s newly reopened and spectacularly renovated 1920s-era Paramount Theater. Matty Healy and his girlfriend Gabriette Bechtel (who chose the occasion to apparently announce their engagement) were in the house, as were Lorde, Julia Fox, Lily Allen and probably other luminaries.

Matty Healy has seemingly confirmed his engagement to Gabbriette Bechtel during a Charli XCX show.Speculation about The 1975 frontman and his model girlfriend came to a head last night when the latter posted an update on her Instagram Stories, while at a Charli XCX concert in New York City.In the update, a photo of Butchel’s hand is seen wearing a large black ring on her ring finger, she shared it alongside the caption ‘MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT.’She then doubled down on the rumours about an engagement, posting a mirror selfie as she held up the ring. Both updates seem to have come from the same night that she and Healy were spotted out together at the Charli XCX gig, and the “brat” comment in the caption seems to be a nod to Charli’s new album.After sharing various memes online that same night, Healy also reshared the ring photo, adding fuel to the fire about rumours that they had gotten engaged.According to People, the two have been dating since September 2023.
