American rapper Playboi Carti claims the week’s highest new entry with Whole Lotta Red at Number 17 – his first Top 20 collection. Australian rapper The Kid Laroi’s debut mixtape F**k Love rebounds 13 to Number 22, landing just ahead of Lil Durk, who enters at 26 with The Voice, his sixth studio album and highest charting collection in the UK.
George Michael’s Twenty Five greatest hits collection flies 37 places to Number 30 following the fourth anniversary of his death, and finally, the late Juice Wrld’s 2018 debut Goodbye & Good Riddance rebounds 22 to Number 34.
