Pulp poised to achieve first chart-topping album in nearly three decades

Iconic indie band Pulp is currently in line to secure their first number one album in over two decades, as per the latest report from the Official Charts Company. The band’s newest album, More, marks their return to the music scene after a nearly 20-year gap since their last studio album, We Love Life, released back in 2001. Their last chart-topping album was This Is Hardcore in 1998, following the immense success of Different Class, their most acclaimed and only other number one album.

The band, hailing from Sheffield, has fans eagerly awaiting their upcoming performances as they are set to take the stage at various music festivals this summer, including the Montreux Jazz Festival in July and the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival in August. Speculation is buzzing within the music world about a potential surprise appearance by the group at the upcoming Glastonbury Festival, as their schedule conveniently clears up between June 21 and July 10.

Meanwhile, UK rapper Little Simz is expected to achieve a significant milestone with her latest album, Lotus, potentially landing her personal best at number two on the charts. The London-born artist has seen three of her albums chart in the UK, with Sometimes I Might Be Introvert reaching number four and earning her the prestigious Mercury Prize in 2022. TikTok sensation Addison Rae is also making waves in the music industry with her debut album, Addison, predicted to make a top-five debut on the charts.

Welsh singer-songwriter Marina, formerly known as Marina and the Diamonds, is anticipated to secure the number four spot with her album Princess Of Power. Additionally, the rock band My Chemical Romance is making a comeback on the charts with the Deluxe Edition of Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, more than two decades after its initial release. The re-release features new remixes and bonus live tracks, reigniting fans’ interest in the band’s iconic second studio album.

With an exciting lineup of new music releases and potential chart-toppers, the music scene is buzzing with anticipation as fans eagerly await the latest rankings on the UK album charts.
