Alex Warren Earns Second Consecutive U.K. No. 1 Album With ‘Wildchild’
"You guys were the first ones to ever believe in me," the 25-year-old said of his U.K. audience.
Alex Warren has secured a second consecutive No. 1 album in the United Kingdom with his new release, Wildchild, which debuted at the top of the Official Albums Chart on September 4th. This achievement follows his previous No. 1 album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid, which topped the chart in July 2025 and led to the global success of his hit single "Ordinary," which remained on the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart for 13 weeks.
Warren's triumph was celebrated with a U.K. arena tour in April, including two sold-out nights at London's O2 Arena, 20,000-capacity venue. Warren expressed his gratitude, crediting the Official Charts Company for their belief in him and expressing his desire to perform in the U.K. soon. The Courteeners secured the runner-up position with their greatest hits compilation, God Bless the Band, while the late Michael Jackson's The Essential climbed to the third spot.
Olivia Rodrigo's you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love maintained the fourth position. Dolly Parton's Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection rounded out the top five, marking her highest charting U.K. album in 38 years since 1988's The Greatest Hits Collection. Bananarama's True Confessions entered the top 10 for the first time in 38 years following the release of its 40th anniversary edition, climbing to No. 6.
The Warning entered the chart for the first time at No. 16 with Everything's Falling, while Interpol's This Mirror Weighs a Ton debuted at No. 33.
