Jessie Ware snares a second week atop the L.dK Weekly Chart with That! Feels Good!. The album dropped just 38 percent, selling 94,000 in its sophomore frame.
Good! is Ware’s first album to achieve a multi-week reign. She previously spent a single week at the summit in 2020 with What’s Your Pleasure?
Lana Del Rey’s Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd holds at No.2 after a five-week reign, shifting 80,000 units (down 3 percent). The smash has now sold over a million copies, crossing the mark in just seven weeks! It is Del Rey’s sixth album to sell a cool million, following Norman Fucking Rockwell! (6.10 million); Lust for Life (3.05 million); Chemtrails Over the Country Club (2.21 million); Blue Banisters (1.85 million); and Born to Die: the Paradise Edition (1.51 million).
Notably, Ocean Blvd is first album to sell over a million copies in 2023.
Del Rey also ouccpies the No.10 spot this week, as NFR! re-enters the Top Ten, rising 11-10 on sales of 20,000 copies (down 4 percent). This marks the LP’s record-extending 145th week inside the Top Ten!
Beyonce’s five-week-leader RENAISSANCE repeats at No.3 on sales of 39,000 copies (down 7 percent), as Joni Mitchell’s twelve-week-ruler Court and Spark stays at No.4 with 37,000 units (on par with last week).
Caroline Polachek’s No.2-peaking Desire, I Want to Turn Into You holds steady at No.5 on sales of 29,000 copies (down 3 percent). The album has now been certified Double Platinum for selling over 600,000 copies to date.
Outside the Top Five: Adele’s 30 rebounds 7-6 after seventeen weeks at the top spot (27,000 units – down 6 percent); Paramore’s This is Why descends 6-7 after topping out at No.3 (26,000 units – down 13 percent); Miley Cyrus’s chart-topping Endless Summer Vacation sticks at No.8 (25,000 units – down 14 percent); and First Aid Kit’s Palomino stays at No.9 after peaking at No.2 (21,000 units – down 4 percent).
Onto Next Week: Jessie Ware should have no trouble retaining the crown for a third consecutive week, with That! Feels Good! tracking to sell upwards of 90,000 copies for a third term. Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd also has an outside shot at returning to the summit, with expected sales of over 80,000 copies.
