twenty one pilots’ Breach is currently at Number Two in the UK midweeks, while across the pond the album is expected to debut at Number One on the Billboard 200.
twenty one pilots’ brilliant new album Breach is looking like it’ll do very well in this week’s charts.
The record is currently at Number Two after Ed Sheeran’s Play in the UK, with the Official Charts noting that Breach is following “closely behind” the pop singer-songwriter in the midweeks. Elsewhere, Feeder’s Comfort In Sound reissue is at Number 10, and Lorna Shore are in the Top 40 for the first time at #36 with I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me.
Across the pond, Breach is doing even better, landing in first place on the iTunes Top Albums chart, and looking like it’ll also debut at Number One on the Billboard 200, too.
Recently explaining the title Breach and how the LP wraps up their 10-year-long lore, frontman Tyler Joseph told Zane Lowe on New Music Daily: “We played it like our last record Clancy was gonna be the end of the story, and we intentionally knew it was gonna be a cliffhanger, the way it ended.
“I think that we felt that we had done a misdirection to the fans – we never like to pull the rug out from under them, so intentionally knowing that we wanted to name the following record Breach was kind of this play on, you know, we kind of breached their trust a bit, in a way that actually ties into the story that we’re telling as well.”
