You Me At Six are leading the race for this week’s Number 1 album with Suckapunch.
The Weybridge rock group’s seventh studio album tops the Official Albums Chart Update, having scored the most physical sales this past weekend. If the collection holds onto its momentum, it will mark the Josh Franceschi-fronted act’s second UK Number 1 album, and first for seven years, since 2014’s Night People.
Nottingham punk duo Sleaford Mods are in the runner-up slot at the midweek mark of the week, as lockdown-recorded album Spare Ribs starts at Number 2. The album is set to become their third UK Top 10 effort, and potentially highest-charting following 2019 studio album Eton Alive and 2020 compilation All That Glue.

Tyler Hubbard has once again slammed rumours he and Florida Georgia Line bandmate Brian Kelley are splitting up, insisting they are a package deal .
Reports of trouble within the group began after Democrat Hubbard unfollowed Republican Brian Kelley for a few days around the U.S. presidential election last year, which were furthered as the duo pulled out of an appearance at the Country Music Academy Awards due to a COVID-related health scare.
The two stories combined to prompt fans and critics alike to suggest FGL were done, but both Hubbard and Kelley have denied that - revealing they are planning to use 2021 as the year they ll explore solo projects.

Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean is determined to soldier on in his sobriety journey for the sake of his family, despite recognising his weakness as a chronic relapser .
The pop star, who has been open about his substance abuse battle in the past, celebrated one year sober in December and admitted it s always been a struggle for him to stay on the right path.

It was always back and forth, McClean explained.

And after her estate said in August last year it was working to bring her entire back catalogue to streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music, they have now updated fans on the situation surrounding the task.
Posting on Twitter on Saturday (16.01.21) – which would have been Aaliyah’s 42nd birthday – they wrote: We hear you and we see you. While we share your sentiments and desire to have Aaliyah s music released, we must acknowledge that these matters are not within our control and, unfortunately, take time. Our inability to share Aaliyah s music and artistry with the world has been as difficult for us as it has been for all of you. Our priority has always been and will contin
