You Me At Six are leading the race for this week’s Number 1 album with SUCKAPUNCH.

The Weybridge rock group’s seventh studio album tops the Official Albums Chart Update, having scored the most physical sales this past weekend. If the collection holds onto its momentum, it will mark the Josh Franceschi-fronted act’s second UK Number 1 album, and first for seven years, since 2014’s Cavalier Youth.

Nottingham punk duo Sleaford Mods are in the runner-up slot at the midweek mark of the week, as lockdown-recorded album Spare Ribs starts at Number 2. The album is set to become their third UK Top 10 effort, and potentially highest-charting following 2019 studio album Eton Alive and 2020 compilation All That Glue.
