Wet Leg flying towards Number 1 with eponymous debut album
officialcharts.comWet Leg lead the race for this week’s Number 1 album, currently outselling their closest competition almost 4:1. The Isle of Wight-born indie group – comprising Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers – who came second in the BBC Sound Of 2022 poll, are now out in front on the midweek Official Albums Chart with their eponymous debut.
Wet Leg soars ahead on physical sales and is the UK’s most downloaded album of the week so far, too. This week’s second-highest new entry could come from Father John Misty, who is on track for a Number 2 debut with his fifth studio album Chloë and the Next 20th Century.
The former Fleet Foxes drummer boasts three UK Top 40 albums to date; 2015’s I Love You Honeybear (14), 2017 album Pure Comedy (8) and 2018 LP God’s Favourite Customer (12).
