Scottish singer-songwriter Callum Beattie is celebrating a monumental victory for independent music today, as his latest album, INDI, has stormed the charts to reach #4 in the UK Official Album Charts. The record has also secured the #1 spot on the Scottish Official Album Charts, marking the highest chart position of Beattie’s career to date.
“I absolutely cannot believe it,” Beattie remarked. “A true triumph for independence. No big budgets, no major labels. Just pure drive and passion.”

Music with a Mission: The INDI Foundation
The success of the album also coincides with the launch of The INDI Foundation, a charity founded by Callum and his manager Dave Rogers. The foundation focuses on music education in deprived areas and is currently building a music school in Ghana. To support the cause, a limited-edition CD is available for just £5, with all proceeds going directly to the foundation.
With a top-five album and a touring schedule that spans from intimate record stores to massive castles, 2026 is officially the year Callum Beattie becomes a household name across the UK.
