Jessie Ware’s That! Feels Good! goes Platinum!
As Ware leads for a third week, Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE cross the 1 million sales mark, and Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark celebrates a new milestone!
Jessie Ware logs a third consecutive week atop the L.dK Weekly Chart with That! Feels Good!. The disco-pop hit saw a 7 percent lift in sales, selling a further 101,000 copies.
Good! has now been certified Platinum, becoming Ware’s fourth album to do so. It follows Glasshouse (7 x Platinum); What’s Your Pleasure? (3 x Platinum); and Tough Love (2 x Platinum). Her debut LP, Devotion has been certified Gold.
Lana Del Rey’s Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd sticks at No.2 for a third term, moving a further 86,000 copies (up 8 percent) after leading for five weeks earlier in the year.
Del Rey is also stationary at No.10 with Norman Fucking Rockwell!, on sales of 21,000 copies (up 5 percent). This marks NFR!‘s record-padding 146th week inside the Top Ten!
Beyonce’s five-week-leader RENAISSANCE stays at No.3 with 41,000 copies sold (up 6 percent). The EDM smash has now become Beyonce’s first album to exceed sales of a million copies, having sold 1.034 million since its release last year. RENAISSANCE has sold 963,000 copies in 2023 alone.
Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark is unmoved at No.4, on sales of 37,000 copies (on par with last week). The jazz-pop set has now sold over 2.7 million units, making it Mitchell’s second release to be certified 9 x Platinum, following the seminal Blue. Court is only the 12th album in history to achieve sales of this level, and currently ranks as the 12th bestselling album ever, behind Kate Bush’s now-unavailable The Whole Story (2.77 million). Mitchell’s own Blue is just ahead of that, with 2.78 million sold.
Caroline Polachek’s No.2-peaking Desire, I Want to Turn Into You rounds out the Top Five, shifting a further 33,000 copies (up 12 percent).
Outside the Top Five: Adele’s seventeen-week-leader 30 bullets at No.6 (28,000 units – up 4 percent); First Aid Kit’s No.2-peaking Palomino swings 9-7 (26,000 units – up 23 percent); Miley Cyrus’s chart-topping Endless Summer Vacation improves at No.8 (26,000 units – up 4 percent); and Paramore’s No.3-peaking This is Why drops 7-9 (25,000 units – down 3 percent).
Onto Next Week: Jessie Ware’s That! Feels Good! looks bound for a fourth week at the top spot, with possible sales of over 100,000 units. Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd once again looks to sell upwards of 80,000 copies to scoop the runner-up spot.
