After re-entering the Top 20, Arctic Monkeys’ AM is tracking to climb even higher to potentially pierce the Top 10 for the first time since July 2023 (9).

Billie Eilish’s HIT ME HARD AND SOFT is looking to break the Top 20 once more (19), last reaching these heights in August of this year.
Olivia Rodrigo may find both GUTS (21) and SOUR (22) climbing significantly this week, with the former up 13 and the latter scaling 11 in this midweek update.
Re-emerging within the Top 40 last week, George Michael’s Twenty Five could ascend a further nine spots (27).
The highest climber this week could come courtesy of Tame Impala’s Currents. With the album turning 10 this year, it's currently set to rise a strong 41 places (29).
Finally, a whole host of classic albums could find themselves in the Top 40 this week including two Radiohead projects: In Rainbows (36) and OK Computer (39). Other records in the mix are Drake’s Take Care (30), Born To Die from Lana Del Rey (37), Nirvana with Nervermind (38) and Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory (40).
