Bob Dylan on track for ninth UK Number 1 album with Rough And Rowdy Ways

officialcharts.com:

Bob Dylan is on course for his ninth Number 1 on the UK’s Official Albums Chart with Rough and Rowdy Ways. The legendary American singer-songwriter leads today (June 22)’s Official Chart Update by over 3:1, outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined.

Bob’s 39th studio album has claimed the most CD sales and downloads of the past weekend since it was released on June 19. Rough and Rowdy Ways – Bob’s first album of original material in seven years – is all but certain to become his landmark fortieth UK Top 10 album in a chart history spanning 56 years.

If the record holds its momentum, it will mark the folk star’s ninth UK chart topper, and first for over five years since 2015’s Shadows In The Night.
