Post Malone flies straight into Number 1 with Hollywood’s Bleeding, the rapper’s second collection to reach the top of the Official Albums Chart, following 2018’s Beerbongs and Bentleys.

Hollywood’s Bleeding’s finishes with double the combined sales of its closest competition, Ed Sheeran’s No.6 Collaborations Project (2) including 87% from streaming-equivalent sales.

Meanwhile, Aitch is new at Number 3 with his AitcH2O EP. It’s the 19-year old Mancunian’s first EP to chart and follows increasing success on the Official Singles Chart in recent months.

Legendary rockers Status Quo land their 25th Top 10 album with Backbone at 6, their highest-charting collection of new songs since 1982. Frontman Francis Rossi told OfficialCharts.com, “To make a return like this feels amazing. This album feels like a fresh start for Quo and we’re thrilled at the reception it’s had.”

Glad to hear POST MALONE got a well deserved second number 1 album...I did expect JAX JONES to be higher in the chart!! I mean it is a great album and he has so much success in the single chart over the last few years!! I mean "HARDER" with BEBE REXHA is just pure perfection !! Would have never though SHERYL CROW last album to drop that fast!! And my favourite album right now, LIZZO...only made it to 40!! happy still to see BELINDA CARLISLE new best of album in the top 20!! never expected it...

Belinda Carlisle's Heaven Is A Place On Earth is a catchy bop from 1987. :)

Post Malone's new album was generally a good listen, although I still prefer 'Beerbongs & Bentleys' overall. Anyway, I'm still glad that 'Hollywood's Bleeding' got the #1! :)

I'm not sure about checking out Aitch's new album yet... his singles have generally disappointed me so far, but the new entry he got on the singles chart today actually has some promise.

Hey Piran, I'm great thanks! Are you doing your 10 throwback songs this week? I actually have 10 this week. I usually don't have enough to do a list of 10 from listening to certain songs over and over. :)

Hey Marco! That's awesome you're doing so good. :)

I'll definitely be posting my throwbacks on the BB200 article as usual, but it'll be a bit later today when there are more people on. It's cool that you've been listening to enough older songs to do a full Top 10 list this time round!
