At Number 3, US pop-punk band All Time Low claim their fourth Top 10 with Wake Up, Sunshine following its release on CD and vinyl. The band’s eighth album originally debuted at Number 28 back in April when it was released on digital download and streaming services only.

Meanwhile, The Essential Human League, a greatest hits album from the legendary English synth-pop band, debuts at Number 13 – their seventh Top 20 collection. Run The Jewels’ RTJ4 debuts at Number 18 to become the American hip-hop duo’s first Top 20 and highest charting album yet.
