\n MORE: Where every Jessie Ware song and album has charted in the UK<\/a><\/p>\n
Currently leading the charge, albeit by single figures, Jessie Ware will be hoping for her first Number 1 album, having previously seen Top 10 success with 2012 debut Devotion<\/a> (5), 2014’s Tough Love<\/a> (9), 2017 record Glasshouse<\/a> (7), 2020’s What’s Your Pleasure?<\/a> (3) and 2023’s That! Feels Good!<\/a> (3).<\/p>\n Also chasing their first chart-topper are Cymry trio Skindred. The band (Benji Webbe, Mikey Demus and Arya Goggin) came tantalisingly close to the summit in August 2023, when their eighth studio LP Smile<\/a> lost out to Cian Ducrot<\/a>‘s Victory<\/a>\u00a0(apt) by just 150 chart units, settling for Number 2.<\/p>\n The boys have been on an upward trajectory since their first Official Chart appearance in 2011, enjoying growing success with that year’s Union Black<\/a> (54), 2014’s Kill The Power<\/a> (28), 2015 collection Volume<\/a> (29), 2018’s Big Tings<\/a> (26) and, of course, the aforementioned Smile.<\/p>\n A couple more expected new entries are still in with a shot, too. ZAYN<\/a>‘s fifth record KONNAKOL<\/a> sits at Number 3 in today’s update, while TOMORA<\/a>,\u00a0a group comprising\u00a0The Chemical Brothers<\/a>‘\u00a0Tom\u00a0Rowlands<\/a>\u00a0and singer-songwriter\u00a0AURORA<\/a>, find their first collaborative release COME CLOSER<\/a> at Number 5.<\/p>\n
