The LP, which sees the Stratford-born rapper and singer (real name Momodou Lamin Jallow) team up with the likes of Drake, Jorja Smith and Burna Boy, follows 2020’s Big Conspiracy as his second consecutive chart-topper on the Official Albums Chart. Hus’s debut album, Common Sense, peaked at Number 6 in 2017.
As tickets for The Eras Tour UK dates go on sale, Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) holds strong in the Top 5 for a second week (2).

Seeing us into the weekend, Joel Corry celebrates his first Top 40 album with Another Friday Night (24), while American pop-rock outfit PVRIS secure their third with EVERGREEN (25).
