Beabadoobee Eyes Second UK Number 1 With Pylon

beabadoobee looks set to claim her second UK Number 1 album in a row with Pylon, her fourth studio record.

The latest Official Albums Chart update puts Pylon at the top of the midweek standings. If it holds, it will follow 2024's This Is How Tomorrow Moves to Number 1 and give her a fourth Top 10 album, after Fake It Flowers (2020) and Beatopia (2022).

Queen drummer Roger Taylor is at Number 2 with Violence Insane In A Beautiful World. Should it stay there, the album would become his highest-charting solo release, beating Outsider from 2021, which reached Number 3.

David Bowie's The Shel Talmy Recordings comes in at Number 3. The compilation focuses on his 1965 work with producer Shel Talmy and is heading for Bowie's 37th Top 10 entry on the Official Albums Chart.

Beck is at Number 4 with Ride Lonesome, which could match the UK chart peak he set 12 years ago with Morning Phase. Rounding out the midweek Top 5 at Number 5 are post-punk veterans Echo & The Bunnymen with Apples For Isaac. It is their first new material since 2014 and could bring them a first Top 10 placing in 29 years.

Lower down, Miley holds Number 6 with Bass Persuades, while Liverpudlian indie outfit The Cheap Thrills lead the new entries at Number 13 with their debut album Keep Cheap. Thrash metal band Anthrax are at Number 15 with Cursum Perficio, followed by Tove Lo's ESTRUS at Number 19 and Irish folk group The Mary Wallopers at Number 20 with Paddywhackery.

Reissues are also performing well, with expanded editions of Simple Minds' Once Upon A Time and Phil Collins' Face Value tracking toward Top 40 returns. The Official Charts Company will confirm the final standings on Friday.
