In a major music industry achievement, British artist Dave has secured the number one spot on the U.K. album charts for the third time in his career. His latest release, "The Boy Who Played the Harp," has amassed 73,800 chart units over the past seven days, making it the second biggest opening week for a British album in 2025, behind only Sam Fender's "People Watching."
The album's impressive performance also places it as the fourth biggest opening week overall so far this year, trailing only Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" and the releases from Fender and Sabrina Carpenter. Dave first topped the charts in 2019 with "Psychodrama" and again in 2021 with "We're All Alone in This Together." His new LP features guest appearances from artists like James Blake, Jim Legxacy, Tems, and Kano, and will be supported by a U.K. arena tour in 2026.
