Kasabian‘s new album ‘Velociraptor!‘ is on course to top the UK Album Chart this weekend, according to figures released today.
The midweek charts have Kasabian outselling their nearest rival, last week’s number one Ed Sheeran, by two copies to one, with Adele‘s ‘21‘ another place back at #3.
SuperHeavy, the new supergroup involving Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart and Joss Stone amongst others, look set for a top ten place with their self-titled debut album, while new releases from Scroobius Pip and Pearl Jam will also chart.
If the midweek predictions prove correct, ‘Velociraptor!’ will be Kasabian’s third consecutive number one album in the UK, and was described by the Live4ever Ezine thus:
“…compared to the gloriously heaving mess of the last album, Kasabian are at least this time more subtle about where they’re uneven. And although it’s hardly a patch on ‘…Asylum’ for ‘career rebirth’-type chart hits, it’s certainly a gentle progression, more well rounded and with less glaring filler.”
