As the nation mourns the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, today’s chart represents a historic moment being the first ever UK Official Chart published under a King, Charles III.

Megadeth‘s Dave Mustaine has reflected on the “horrifying” climate that pervaded following news that David Ellefson had sexual encounters with a teenager.Ellefson, who was falsely accused of grooming an underage girl in 2021 and subsequently sacked from the thrash metal band, played bass in the group from its inception in 1983 through to 2002, and again from 2010 until 2021.He had denied any wrongdoing at the time, saying that explicit text messages were between consenting adults and that the woman was not underage when the encounters happened.

YUNGBLUD could claim his second UK Number 1 album with his self-titled third studio LP, as he leads the charge midweek.
