On February 3, Bruce Springsteen became ‘The Boss’ once again, as he returned to the top of the UK's Official Americana Albums Chart. Springsteen's latest album, Only The Strong Survive, spent the first two weeks of the year at No. 1, before being usurped by newer releases.
Now, it is back in the top spot, with Noah Kahan's Stick Season following closely behind at No. 2. First Aid Kit's Palomino takes third position, while Zach Bryan's 2022 opus, American Heartbreak, leaps up three places from last week to settle at No. 4.
It marks an impressive 37 weeks on the Official Americana Albums chart for American Heartbreak. The colossal project has received an added boost from the release of Zach's recent live album, All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster (Live From Red Rocks).
The live record features a number of haunting renditions of tracks from American Heartbreak, such as ‘Oklahoma City’, ‘The Good I'll Do’ and Bryan's viral hit, ‘Something in the Orange’, the latter of which has been nominated for the 2023 Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance.
American Heartbreak was one of Holler's Albums of the Year for 2022, as was Lainey Wilson's Bell Bottom Country, which holds its position at No. 15 on the chart.
Coming in at No. 5 is Weyes Blood's And In The Darkness Hearts Aglow, followed by Big Thief's curiously titled Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You at No. 6.
After enjoying the view from the peak of the charts a couple of weeks ago, Margo Price's acclaimed 2023 album, Strays, now sits at No. 7. Sheryl Crow's Sheryl - Music From The Feature Documentary continues its ascent, climbing from No. 12 to No. 8 this week.
Completing the Top Ten for February 3 is Noah Cyrus’ The Hardest Part at No. 9 and Marcus Mumford's (self-titled) project at No. 10.
