Sleep Token on course for first-ever UK Top 10 album

The Official Charts Company have shared the current standings for this week’s run-in, and it’s exciting news for Sleep Token.

The viral masked stars’ third album Take Me Back To Eden has landed at Number Three in the UK midweek charts – which is their highest-ever placing, after predecessor This Place Will Become Your Tomb made it to #39 when it was released in 2021.

Elsewhere, Def Leppard are currently in second place with their Royal Philharmonic Orchestra collab, and Ghost’s PHANTOMIME EP is at Number Four. They all trail Lewis Capaldi, whose new album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent is currently outselling the rest of the Top 20 combined, with a whopping 68,000 sales.

Still, if we could have Def Leppard, Sleep Token and Ghost all following behind Lewis, that’s not a bad week at all…

In our 4/5 review of Take Me Back To Eden, we praised Sleep Token for how they are “capable of creating a whole universe from the ground-up in the space of just a few minutes, before triumphantly tearing it down just as quickly”.
