The band, who have been active since 2019, are currently on a national tour and will perform at Newcastle\u2019s Hamilton Station tonight (July 10).<\/p>\n \n\tElsewhere on the Albums Chart, Lorde\u2019s Virgin<\/em> holds strong at No. 2 after debuting atop the Vinyl Albums chart last week, and Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em> sits at No. 3.<\/p>\n \n\tOn the Singles Chart<\/a>, Alex Warren\u2019s \u201cOrdinary\u201d extends its reign to a 16th consecutive week at No. 1, a feat that continues to cement its global breakout status. The viral hit has topped charts in over 25 countries, including the Billboard<\/em> Hot 100<\/a>. and U.K., and its parent album You\u2019ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1)<\/em> \u2014 which peaked at No. 15 earlier this year \u2014 lands at 23 this week.<\/p>\n \n\tLegacy acts are also stirring activity.
