Lewis Capaldi reigns atop the Official Albums Chart for a second week with Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent.
Having claimed the title of 2023’s fastest-selling album to date and the biggest opening week of his career, Lewis’s second studio LP beats stiff competition from Taylor Swift to secure another week at the summit.
Just 1,100 chart units behind at Number 2 is Taylor, who sees her Midnights LP leap eight spots thanks to the release of The Till Dawn Edition. The repackaged version of the album includes a new single remix of Karma featuring Ice Spice, plus an updated recording of Lana Del Rey collaboration Snow on the Beach and brand-new track Hits Different. Midnights debuted at Number 1 on its original release last October, delivering Taylor the biggest opening week of her career to date.
