Whoo-Hoo! Kylie Minogue Lands Her 10th No. 1 Via U.K. Albums Chart W/ Tension II. 

"Kylie Minogue has scored her 10th No. 1 album on the U.K. Official Albums Chart.

The Aussie singer’s Tension II, a sequel to her September 2023 album of the same name, is her 17th studio album and features contributions from Diplo, Bebe Rexha and The Blessed Madonna.

Tension II is a continuation of the dancefloor-focused electronic sound that she’s found success with in recent years. Her 2023 single “Padam Padam” from Tension reached the top 10 on the U.K. Official Singles Chart.

With her 10th No. 1 album in the U.K., Kylie joins only a handful of acts to reach double figures, drawing level with Coldplay, Queen, Michael Jackson and ABBA.

Kylie now trails only The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Robbie Williams, Elvis, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Eminem and U2 for No. 1s on the Albums Chart.

The pop icon has previously topped the chart with Kylie (1988), Enjoy Yourself (1989), Greatest Hits (1992), Fever (2001), Aphrodite (2010), Golden (2018), Step Back In Time: The Definitive Collection (2019), DISCO (2020) and Tension (2023).

Rag’n’Bone Man re-enters with his third consecutive top 3 album with What Do You Believe In? The British solo artist topped the Albums Chart on his previous two outings, 2017’s Human and 2021’s Life By Misadventure.

Australian-born, London-based dance group Confidence Man land their first top 10 album with 3AM (LA LA LA), their first after signing to Polydor. Their third album comes in at No. 9 in this week’s edition.

All five of One Direction’s albums have returned to the charts following the death of member Liam Payne, who died earlier this month at age 31. Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013), Made In The A.M. (2015) and Four (2015) all chart in the top 40.

Fans worldwide have been holding vigils for the late singer, who died following a fall from a hotel balcony. Zayn Malik recently postponed his first ever solo tour following the news, while his 1D bandmates have paid tribute to their late friend.
