Muse Makes Chart History In The United Kingdom With ‘Will Of The People’

Will Of The People is Muse’s seventh No. 1 in the United Kingdom.

Will Of The People (via Warner Records) blasted to the top of the midweek leaderboard, shifting more chart units than the rest of the top 10 combined.

Muse topped the weekly chart when it was released on Friday (Sept. 2), with 51,500 chart units, according to the Official Charts Company.

Will Of The People becomes the U.K.’s first-ever leader to incorporate NFT technology, thanks to a limited-edition “Digital Pressing” collaboration between Warner Music U.K. and web3 marketplace Serenade, along with the title.

Muse joins a select group of bands that includes The Prodigy and The Killers, as well as solo artists Cliff Richard, Elton John, Barbara Streisand, George Michael, and Paul McCartney.

God Did (Epic/We The Best), DJ Khaled’s 13th studio album, is among the new entries on the latest Official UK Albums Chart. It’s a new career high for the American-born producer, surpassing the No. 6 peak of his 2019 album Father Of Asahd. God Did is DJ Khaled’s fifth UK top ten single.

Embrace, a British indie rock band, enters the top ten for the eighth time with How To Be A Person Like Other People (Mo’Betta), which debuts at No. 9. It’s the three-time chart-first topper’s studio album since Love Is A Basic Need, which peaked at No. 5 in 2018.

Blondie (Against The Odds: 1974-1982 at No. 25 via UMC), Californian heavy metal act Machine Head (Of Kingdom and Crown at No. 27 via Nuclear Blast), and Altered Images, whose Mascara Streakz (Cooking Vinyl) debuts at No. 28, marking the Scottish new wave act’s first chart appearance in nearly 40 years.
