Tom Grennan Scores Chart Hat-Trick With His Third Consecutive U.K. No. 1 Album

Tom Grennan has scored his third U.K. No. 1, with new LP Everywhere I Went, Led Me to Where I Didn’t Want to Be debuting at the summit on Aug. 22.

The singer-songwriter first appeared on the Official Albums Chart in 2018 with Lighting Matches, which peaked at No. 7. Its successors Evering Road (2021) and What Ifs & Maybes (2023) both hit the top spot upon release.

Grennan headlined BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend festival in Liverpool in May. He is currently gearing up for an arena tour across the U.K. and Ireland, which kicks off Sept. 3 at Bournemouth’s BIC and wraps up at Manchester’s Co-op Live two weeks later.

“This is amazing, it’s nuts! I’m so proud of myself, my team and my fans, as well,” Grennan told the Official Charts Company. “They’re the ones that’ve stuck with me through thick and thin. This ain’t for me — it’s for my fans.

“For everybody who’s bought and streamed the album, thank you!” he continued. “I hope you continue to listen to it and connect with it. I’ll see you in September on tour. I love you!”  

Elsewhere, Wishbone, the fourth LP from pop artist Conan Gray, lands at No. 2, a career-best for the 26-year-old. Oasis mania continues to sweep the U.K., with the band holding two spots in the top five: 2010’s singles compilation Time Flies… 1994-2009 finishes at No. 3, while 1995’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? closes the week at No. 4.

The Gallagher brothers are set to kick off the North American leg of the Oasis Live ‘25 Tour this weekend in Toronto, Canada (Aug. 24 and 25). They will return to the U.K. late next month, with two further nights booked at London’s Wembley Stadium for Sept. 27 and 28.

Alex Warren’s You’ll Be Alright, Kid rounds out the top five. The Californian singer-songwriter had a record-breaking streak at the top of the Official Singles Chart earlier this year, as hit single “Ordinary” ruled for 13 weeks. 

Following the recent announcement of 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl (due Oct. 3), three records from Taylor Swift’s back catalogue crop up across the top 40. The Tortured Poets Department jumps nine to No. 28, with Lover and Folklore following at No. 39 and No. 40, respectively.
