To celebrate the launch of the album on Friday, Harry performed a\u00a0One Night\u00a0Only\u00a0gig at\u00a0Manchester\u2019s\u00a0Co-op Live Arena, a\u00a0venue in which he performed his\u00a0chart-topping\u00a0single\u00a0Aperture<\/a>\u00a0a\u00a0week\u00a0prior\u00a0at the\u00a02026\u00a0BRIT Awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With\u00a0album track\u00a0American Girls<\/a>\u00a0also on course to take top spot on this week\u2019s\u00a0Official Singles Chart, can Harry achieve the\u00a0Official Chart double, last\u00a0secured by fellow Brit\u00a0Olivia Dean<\/a>\u00a0in October last year?\u00a0<\/p>\n

And\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0not all! With the hype surrounding his latest\u00a0record, we could also see\u00a0Harry\u2019s House\u00a0inside the\u00a0Top 40, currently sitting\u00a0at Number\u00a029\u00a0midweek.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, former\u00a0The Smiths<\/a>\u00a0frontman\u00a0and musical icon\u00a0Morrissey<\/a>\u00a0could upset the applecart, as\u00a0Make-Up is a Lie\u00a0also\u00a0eyes the summit (2). His first release in six years, it\u00a0would\u00a0mark a fourth Number 1 for the\u00a0legendary\u00a0singer-songwriter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

London-formed rockers\u00a0Squeeze<\/a>\u00a0could secure their best charting performance since 1984\u2019s\u00a0Singles \u2013 45\u2019s\u00a0And Under<\/a>\u00a0with their latest\u00a0project\u00a0Trixies\u00a0(4).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s\u00a0also likely to be a Top 40 debut for Brummie folk singer\u00a0Katherine Priddy<\/a>\u00a0with her third creation\u00a0These Frightening Machines\u00a0(5).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

As his tour enters the UK including pulsating\u00a0homecoming\u00a0sets at\u00a0The O2 Arena, London,\u00a0Dave<\/a>\u00a0finds former Number 1\u00a0The Boy Who Played\u00a0the\u00a0Harp<\/a>\u00a0looking to re-bound into the main standings (33).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
