U.K. CHARTS:BALL'S HOME RUN

3/29/19

Michael Ball has topped the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart with Coming Home to You (Decca)—his first #1 as a soloist in 27 years—as Lewis Capaldi enjoys a fifth week at the singles summit.

Coming Home to You is Ball’s first solo #1 since his self-titled debut in 1992 and his fourth chart-topping album in total; his two collaborations with Alfie Boe, Together and Together Again, peaked at #1 in 2016 and 2017.

Further down, following Richard Carpenter’s appearance on The One Show this week, Carpenters With the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra returns to the chart at #10, with more than 80% of sales coming from physical formats. The first album in 22 years from reunited ‘90s indie band Sleeper, The Modern Age (Gorsky), is new at #18.
