Interesting to see whether Dirty Computer can stay in the top 10 for Janelle Monae - her last album The Electric Lady entered at 14, falling from a midweek position of 7 i think, so it would be nice to see her crack the top 10 this time

I actually don't mind seeing Post Malone at #1 on the albums chart update, as I think it's a significant improvement from his last album! :)
It's cool to see 'One Kiss' set for a third consecutive week at the top in terms of singles, although I'd love for 'No Tears Left To Cry' to get there eventually.
