Mumford & Sons has earned its second U.K. No. 1 Album in less than a year with new LP Prizefighter on the chart dated Feb. 27.

The band’s sixth studio album is its fourth No. 1 overall, and comes just 11 months after Rushmere hit the summit of the Official Albums Chart in March 2025. Sophomore album, Babel, and its follow-up, Wilder Mind (2015), also hit the top spot, while debut album Sigh No More (2009) and Delta (2018) both peaked at No. 2.

Produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner, Prizefighter features guest spots from Chris Stapleton, Hozier, Gracie Abrams and Gigi Perez. Speaking to Billboard’s Pop Shop Podcast, the trio — Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwayne — said that the album’s creation was born from spontaneity. Said Lovett: “For the last couple of years, it feels like we’ve been operating in a space of not being particularly concerned or constrained by any of the patterns that maybe we had, you know, pre-2018.”

Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving earns the No. 2 spot in an otherwise all-new top five. The LP is up for album of the year at the 2026 BRIT Awards on Saturday (Feb. 28).

Little Mix member Leigh-Anne lands at No. 3 with debut solo LP My Ego Told Me To, her first as an independent artist.

Following a reissue on vinyl and CD, George Michael’s 1987 solo debut Faith returns to the top 10 for the first time in 38 years (No. 3). The LP hit No. 1 in the U.K. and on the Billboard 200 upon its original release.

Hilary Duff’s sixth studio album, Luck… or Something, bags the musician and actor her best ever finish in the U.K. yet at No. 5; her previous high came in 2007 with Dignity (No. 21).

Baby Keem’s Ca$ino earns the Californian rapper a new career high (No. 29) and improves on his 2021 release The Melodic Blue (No. 49)
