To celebrate the launch of the album on Friday, Harry performed a One Night Only gig at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena, a venue in which he performed his chart-topping single Aperture a week prior at the 2026 BRIT Awards. 

With album track American Girls also on course to take top spot on this week’s Official Singles Chart, can Harry achieve the Official Chart double, last secured by fellow Brit Olivia Dean in October last year? 

And that’s not all! With the hype surrounding his latest record, we could also see Harry’s House inside the Top 40, currently sitting at Number 29 midweek.

However, former The Smiths frontman and musical icon Morrissey could upset the applecart, as Make-Up is a Lie also eyes the summit (2). His first release in six years, it would mark a fourth Number 1 for the legendary singer-songwriter. 

London-formed rockers Squeeze could secure their best charting performance since 1984’s Singles – 45’s And Under with their latest project Trixies (4).  

It’s also likely to be a Top 40 debut for Brummie folk singer Katherine Priddy with her third creation These Frightening Machines (5).  

As his tour enters the UK including pulsating homecoming sets at The O2 Arena, London, Dave finds former Number 1 The Boy Who Played the Harp looking to re-bound into the main standings (33).

Breach from Twenty One Pilots looks to reappear inside the Top 40 following the recent success of latest single Drag Path, currently experiencing strong viral success (34), while Calvin Harris’s 96 Months aims to follow suit, the first time it could enter the Top 40 since September 2025 (40).
