The race to the top of the UK charts was crazy competitive this week, as we saw new releases from Skepta, Radiohead, and James Blake battle with recent chart-toppers from Beyoncé and Drake.

Billboard reported mid-week that Skepta held a very slight lead over Beyonce in 2nd and Radiohead in 3rd, but the final charts saw Radiohead earn their sixth chart-topping album in the UK with A Moon Shaped Pool. Skepta came in at a very strong number 2 for Konnichiwa, followed by Beyoncé’s Lemonade at number 3.

James Blake’s surprise release The Colour In Anything debuted at number 13.

You can see the top 15 below and check out the comprehensive list over at Official Charts.
