Alex Warren Continues His Dominance on U.K. Charts With His First No. 1 Album
Alex Warren earned his first-ever No. 1 LP in the U.K. on Friday (July 25) with an extended version of You’ll Be Alright, Kid.
The 10-track EP was first released in October 2024 as You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), and reissued with an additional 11 tracks July 18. The updated release now includes “Ordinary,” which spent 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Official Singles Chart, and “Bloodline,” his collaboration with Jelly Roll, and eight further songs.
Warren’s “Ordinary” broke a number of records on the U.K. Singles Chart with its 13-week run (12 of which were consecutive), becoming the longest-running No. 1 of the 2020s so far, and the longest-running chart-topper for a U.S. male solo act since 1958, outlasting Slim Whitman’s record. The song is currently No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has reached seven weeks at the summit.
Following its surprise release on Monday, Tyler, the Creator’s Don’t Tap the Glass lands at No. 2 to give him his fifth top 10 LP. 2024’s Chromakopia remains his sole chart-topper in the U.K.
As their Live ‘25 tour rolls into Wembley Stadium in London Friday, Oasis continues to dominate the upper echelons of the Official Albums Chart with some of the band’s most popular material: greatest hit collection Time Flies… 1994-2009 (No. 3), 1995’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (No. 4) and 1994’s Definitely Maybe (No. 5) all land inside the top five.
Following his passing earlier this week, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s back catalog has returned to the charts, with the latter’s greatest hits The Ultimate Collection (2016) rising 107 places to No. 22. The compilation peaked at No. 20 upon its original release.
