Charli XCX’s album ‘Brat’ has finally topped the UK charts after being re-released as a remix album.
Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat features new versions of album tracks including Ariana Grande, The 1975 and Kesha.
The original Brat spent 19 weeks on the charts, peaking at number two.
Meanwhile, James Blunt promises Legally change his name If the reissue of his 2004 album Back to Bedlam had reached No. 1 on the charts, he wouldn’t have to be known as Blunty McBluntface now.
Back to Bedlam initially stayed at number one for 10 weeks and remains one of the best-selling albums of all time in the UK.
But the album’s 20th anniversary edition only debuted at No. 7 on the charts this week.
Former Beautiful South frontman Paul Heaton came in second, with Sabrina Carpenter, Coldplay and Chappelle Rowan rounding out the top five.
On the singles chart, Carpenter made history by becoming the first artist in 71 years to spend 20 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in a single year.
Her song “Taste” spends its eighth consecutive week at No. 1 and surpasses Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” to become the longest-running No. 1 single of 2024.
Earlier this year, Carpenter had seven weeks at No. 1 with “Espresso” and five weeks at No. 1 with “Please Please Please.”
She equaled Frankie Laine’s 1953 record of 20 consecutive weeks at the top of the charts with “I Believe,” “Hey Joe” and “Answer Me.”
Elsewhere, KSI’s buzzy song “Thick Of It” has become his ninth top 10 single.
The YouTuber, who is currently a guest judge on Britain’s Got Talent, told the Official Charts Company: “To all my fans, thank you so much. To all my haters – haha! Keep being mad!”
