Charli xcx sets her sights on a third Number 1 album with Wuthering Heights.
Her second soundtrack album after Bottoms in 2023, Charli’s companion soundtrack to Emerald Fennell’s movie adaptation of Emily Brontë classic Wuthering Heights has been widely praised for capturing the film’s emotional depth.
Wuthering Heights could join both CRASH (2022) and BRAT (2024) to mark Charli’s third chart-topping accolade in four years. Three tracks from the album are also in contention for a Top 40 finish on this week’s Official Singles Chart.
As a result of the above, BRAT is also up six places midweek, possibly moving back into the Top 40 (39).
