Olivia Dean’s winning streak keeps on rolling as The Art of Loving enters a fifth non-consecutive week at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart dated Jan. 16.
Released in September, the Londoner’s second studio album returned to the top spot Jan. 2 to score the first chart-topper in the U.K. in 2026; the LP went to No. 1 upon release and has returned to the top spot intermittently since.
In February, Dean will attend her first Grammys, where she is nominated in the best new artist category alongside Lola Young, Leon Thomas, Sombr, Alex Warren and KATSEYE.
Following a jam-packed week of promotional activity and in-store signing events in major U.K. cities, the highest new entry on the current frame belongs to British boyband Blue, who land its highest charting album in more than 20 years with Reflections.
“We never imagined we’d be having such a high chart position after 23 years, so we are incredibly grateful,” said Blue in a press statement. “We are brothers who have been through a lot of ups and downs together, and this is a high moment we are going to remember for a long time.”
Also new to the top five is Zach Bryan, whose new 25-track collection With Heaven on Top comes in at No. 3, marking a new personal best on the chart for the country music phenomenon.
Fleetwood Mac compilation album 50 Years – Don’t Stop lands at No. 4, following a bumper streaming boost thanks to the inclusion of the band’s 1975 song “Landslide” in the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. The Cribs, meanwhile, follow at No. 5 with Selling a Vibe, earning the indie band its first-ever top five record.
Further down the chart, Dry Cleaning scores its third U.K. top 20 record with Secret Love (No. 12), while The Kid Laroi’s second studio album, Before I Forget, finishes the week at No. 22.
