]]>Tension hit the shelves on September 22 and easily soared to No. 1 in the UK, with 53,239 album-equivalent units earned. It’s Minogue fourth consecutive No. 1 album in this country and ninth overall, making her the third female artist with the most UK number-one albums, behind Madonna with 12 and Taylor Swift with 10.
The success of Tension can largely be credited to its lead single “Padam Padam”. This song became a surprise viral hit following its release in May, and Minogue said she was both surprised and grateful after seeing it find a huge audience on TikTok.
“I’ve been so touched and amazed at people’s ingenuity, passion, and humor. We all had high hopes for the song, but I don’t think any of us expected it to take off the way it did as a viral hit. So I’m going along with the ride and we’ve had to pivot as well – because it was unexpected,” she told Music Week.

]]>Dead Club City hit the shelves on June 30, and its release was preceded by singles “Welcome to the DCC”, “Overcome”, and “Keeping You Around”. It’s followed by two greatest hits albums on the chart: Elton John’s Diamonds and The Weeknd’s Highlights.
Nothing But Thieves celebrated the album’s success on social media and said they’re pretty shocked to see it reach No. 1 given its humble background.
“This album was made in an Essex studio, which we essentially built ourselves… It’s a synth-based concept record with too many guitar solos. This is all to say that despite our best efforts of self-sabotage, it’s only gone and got Number 1. It can still happen,” wrote the band in a statement.
Dead Club City is Nothing But Thieves’ first No. 1 album in the UK, but they managed to hit the top ten with all of their previous records, including 2015’s self-titled debut (peaking at No. 7), 2017’s Broken Machine (No. 2) and 2020’s Moral Panic (No. 3).
