With the release of a limited edition ‘Digital Pressing,’ a collaboration between Warner Music UK and eco-friendly music web3 marketplace Serenade, Will Of The People is on track to break new ground on the Official Albums Chart, after Aitch’s Close To Home became the first NFT project to enter the UK’s Official Chart last week.

DJ Khaled is on course for a career best with his thirteenth studio album GOD DID this week (5). The Louisiana-born producer, real name Khaled Mohammed, previously enjoyed an Official Albums Chart peak with his 2019 release Father of Asahd (6).

Blondie’s first-ever box set release, Against The Odds 1974-1982, could provide frontwoman Debbie Harry and co. their fifteenth UK Top 40 record this week. The New York City-formed rock group’s compilation tracks for a Number 11 debut at the midweek mark.

Currently on course for their first chart placing in nearly 40 years, Altered Images’ Mascara Streakz starts out at Number 12 midweek. The record is the Scottish new-wave group’s first new release in 39 years; the band last achieving Official Albums Chart success with 1983’s Bite (16).

As it finally becomes available on physical formats, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak’s collaborative record An Evening With Silk Sonic could return to the Top 40 this week at Number 13. The record originally peaked at Number 9 in November 2021.

Californian heavy metal outfit Machine Head could claim their eighth UK Top 40 record with tenth studio album ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN (15), while Bastille’s Number 1 album Give Me The Future repackaged with new release Dreams Of The Past eyes a return to the Top 40 (21).
