Fall Out Boy at Number Three in midweek UK Official Albums Chart

Fall Out Boy’s So Much (For) Stardust is on course for a Top 5, while BABYMETAL’s THE OTHER ONE could see the band getting their first-ever UK Top 10!

The Official Albums Chart has unveiled its midweek placings, with Fall Out Boy and BABYMETAL both sitting in the Top 10 with their respective releases.

FOB’s incredible So Much (For) Stardust has made it to Number Three so far which could mark the band’s fifth Top 10 album of their career in the UK, while BABYMETAL might be getting their first Top 10 ever, with THE OTHER ONE having landed at Number Seven.

And this week actually could have an all-new Top 5, with Lana Del Rey at Number One, and Depeche Mode following her. Then, after FOB we’ve got Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon reissue at Number Four, and Luke Combs at Number Five.

Best of luck to Fall Out Boy and BABYMETAL – let’s keep streaming those albums!

In our review of So Much (For) Stardust, we wrote that the album “does have a foot in a past FOB, but where they’re taking you is somewhere you weren’t expecting, and it’s equally welcome”.

Meanwhile, K! said that on THE OTHER ONE every song “feels suitably like its own adventure”, and BABYMETAL “sound like they’ve been steering the ship through these parallel universes not for the first time, but for years”.
