The Snuts place at Number 2 midweek, with their third album Millennials looking to become their third consecutive Top 3 entry on the Official Albums Chart, following 2021’s chart-topping W.L. and 2022’s Number 3-peaking Burn The Empire.

With Here & Now, a brand-new jukebox musical of their work arriving later this year, British pop institution Steps could see their first three studio albums re-enter the UK Top 40 this week; Buzz (32), Step One (36) and Steptacular (40) have all just been released on vinyl for the first time ever.
