New Releases

There’s a huge battle for Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart this week, as three acts with a combined 24 chart-topping albums between them all release new LPs this week.

The legendary Madonna is back with her 14^th studio album Madame X, a Portuguese-influenced collection available across a variety of formats including rainbow vinyl and glitter cassette. The Queen of Pop will be aiming for her 13^th UK Number 1 to match Elvis Presley’s record for the most chart toppers by a solo artist.

Bruce Springsteen is not far behind Madonna on 10 Number 1s, and he’s in a pursuit of an 11^th with Western Stars. The collection could be Bruce’s fifth consecutive studio album to reach the peak of the Official Albums Chart.

Bastille are also on a roll also following their first two albums debuting at Number 1. Third LP Doom Days was preceded by the singles Quarter Past Midnight and Joy, and is available on a multitude of physical formats including red splatter vinyl.
