But this week’s biggest Top 10 story belongs to the King of Pop.
Michael Jackson‘s Thriller storms 12 places to Number 5, securing a brand-new Official Chart peak 43 years after its original release.
After reaching a new high of Number 9 in 2025, the Halloween favourite enters the Top 5 for the first time, with a 74% week-on-week consumption increase.
And it’s good news for plenty of other spooky smashes, too.
