Lewis Capaldi’s Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent easily topped the UK Albums Chart following its release, and it’s back at No. 1! Capaldi’s sophomore studio album returned to the top spot in the UK following the release of its surprise extended edition.
Capaldi wrapped up 2023 by sharing a health update with his fans on social media, but also took a moment to announce the surprise release of the deluxe edition of his last studio album. It featured a total of five new songs, and Capaldi felt it would be a shame not to share them with the world.
He also admitted that releasing Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent in the first place was a scary experience, and thanked his fans for welcoming it with open arms.
“I was absolutely terrified of disappointing you all, afraid of not living up to expectations, and in all honesty scared that the whole thing would be a complete flop. But thanks to all of you, it wasn’t. It’s mind-blowing to see the songs on this album still resonating with so many of you,” wrote Capaldi on social media.
Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent spent two consecutive weeks atop the UK Albums Chart following its release in May last year, and its extended edition was surprise-released on January 1, 2024.
