Irish rockers Fontaines D.C. are on course to score their first-ever UK Number 1 album with Skinty Fia. The Dublin-born group - comprising Carlos O’Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan III, Grian Chatten and Tom Coll – are currently outselling their closest competition 4:1, with physical sales accounting for over 90% of Skinty Fia’s midweek sales.
Previously, the band have claimed two UK Top 10 studio albums; 2019’s Dogrel (9) and 2020 record A Hero’s Death (2). See Fontaines D.C.’s full Official Charts history.
