Rag’n’Bone Man’s new album Life By Misadventure charges straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart.
With 42,000 chart sales - including 33,000 on physical formats - the blues-rock musician outsells the rest of the Top 5 combined and claims the biggest opening week for a British act in 2021 so far, and the fastest-selling album by a solo artist this year too.
The entry follows Rag’n’Bone Man’s moving performance at the BRIT Awards on Tuesday, which saw him perform Anywhere Away From Here with P!nk and the Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir.
Michael Ball rolls in at No. 2 with his 27th album
We Are More Than One (Decca), while YouTuber and recording artist Dodie is chasing her highest chart position with

Brighton post-punk group Squid are closing in on a Top 5 debut with Bright Green Field (Warp), new at No. 4 on the midweek chart, while veteran Northern Irish artist Van Morrison rounds out the Top 5 with Latest Record Project, Volume 1 (BMG). If it holds its ground,
Latest Record Project will give Morrison a 16th Top 10.
Meanwhile, New Order are homing in on an 11th Top 10 with their live album
Rag’n’Bone Man is on course for his second UK Number 1 album with new album Life By Misadventure.
Rag’n’Bone Man is outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined on today’s Official Chart Update (May 10) and has sold just shy of 30,000 units over the weekend.
Real name Rory Graham, Rag’n’Bone Man’s debut album Human reached the top of the Official Albums Chart in February 2017, claiming the fastest-selling debut album of the 2010s decade by a male solo artist. That album has returned to the Top 40 midweek, impacting at 29.
Rag’n’Bone is also heading for his fourth UK Top 20 single this week as his P!nk collaboration Anywhere Away From Here is on track to become this week’s highest climber. The two will perform the track at the BRIT Awards tomorrow.
