Courteeners Driving to First U.Ok. Chart Title With ‘St Jude’ Reissue

Fifteen years after its launch, Courteeners’ St Jude (through Polydor/UMR) is on monitor for its first U.Ok. chart crown.

Originally launched in 2008, St Jude peaked at No. 4 on the Official Albums Chart, with three of its tracks occurring to impression the U.Ok. high 40.

The British indie rock band has made seven high 10 appearances, together with all six of their studio LPs.

Until now, Courteeners’ profession U.Ok. chart peak is No. 2 for 2020’s More. Again. Forever. Thanks to a reissue of St Jude, Courteeners might go one higher. It’s the highest title on the Official Chart Update, revealed Jan. 16.

Based on gross sales and streaming knowledge collated by the Official Charts Company, this week’s highest new entry might belong to Supergrass guitarist Gaz Coombes, whose fourth solo album Turn The Car Around (Hot Fruit) is chasing a No. 2 debut. If it continues to speed up, Turn The Car Around would give Coombes his first solo high 10; Supergrass has six high 10 albums, together with a No. 1 for his or her 1995 debut I Should Coco.
