Louis Tomlinson is heading in one direction it seems, as How Did I Get Here? is on course to earn this week's Number 1.
His third LP could net Louis his second chart-topping solo album, following 2022’s Faith In The Future.
With bandmate Harry Styles tracking for the Number 1 single with Aperture this week, a first-ever solo 1D chart double is on the cards, people. It feels like 2012 all over again!
And the Harry hype doesn’t stop there. As he ushers in his KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY. era, Harry’s House (21) and Fine Line (26) are predicted to jump eleven places each after re-entering the Top 40 last Friday.
However, metal band Megadeth are looking to spoil the pop party, as their self-titled release, the last of their career, could break Directioners’ hearts (2). Fighting for the top spot, their current Number 2 position would earn the American outfit their highest-charting record to date.
Scottish singer-songwriter Callum Beattie is also looking to clinch a new personal best with INDI (3). Also eyeing a maiden Top 10, it would surpass 2023’s Vandals which peaked at Number 22.
