Kaiser Chiefs on track for highest new entry on the Official Albums Chart with seventh studio album Duck
We predict a riot on the Official Albums Chart this week as Kaiser Chiefs battle for the Number 1 album with their latest record Duck.
The seventh album by the Leeds pop-rockers is at Number 2 on today’s Official Chart Update (July 29), behind Ed Sheeran’s No.6 Collaborations Project, which is set for a third week at Number 1.
All six of Kaiser Chiefs’ previous studio albums have peaked in the Top 10, with 2007’s Yours Truly, Angry Mob and 2014’s Education, Education, Education & War reaching Number 1.
