Phoebe Bridgers Scores Her First U.K. Solo No. 1 Album With ‘Lost Weekend’
She previously hit the top spot as a member of indie supergroup boygenius.
Phoebe Bridgers has achieved her first solo No. 1 album in the United Kingdom with her third studio release, "Lost Weekend," according to the Official Albums Chart published on Friday, August 21. This marks a significant milestone for the singer-songwriter, as her previous album, "Punisher," from 2020, only reached the No. 6 spot.
Bridgers previously enjoyed the top position in 2023 with the supergroup "boygenius" and their debut album, "The Record," which charted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The success of "Lost Weekend" also marks the first U.K. No. 1 for Bridgers' label, Dead Oceans, which has previously released music by notable artists such as Mitski, Japanese Breakfast, and Khruangbin.
On August 19, Bridgers had to cancel the rest of her intimate underplay tour in the U.K. due to appendicitis, which she discovered on her birthday. Other notable entries in the charts include KATSEYE's "Wild" at No. 2, The Script's "The User's Guide to Being Human" at No. 3, and Jungle's "Sunshine" at No. 4. The Essential greatest hits collection by Michael Jackson rounds out the top five.
