U.K. CHARTS: ONE FOR THE AGES

At nearly 81 years old, Sir Tom Jones becomes the oldest male to claim a #1 album on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart and the oldest artist ever to do so with an album of new material.

Jones’ Surrounded by Time (EMI) overtakes Bob Dylan, who was 79 when Rough and Rowdy Ways (Columbia) debuted at #1 in June. The late Vera Lynn’s greatest hits collection, We’ll Meet Again–The Very Best Of, hit #1 in 2009 when she was 92.

Surrounded by Time is Jones’ fourth #1 album and his first since 1999’s Reload. It's the only new title in the Top 10 this week.

Three reissues debut in the Top 30; the 50th-anniversary edition of John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band (Apple Corps.) enters at #11, The Who’s 1966 set The Who Sell Out (Polydor) lands at #15 and Selecter’s 1980 album Too Much Pressure (Chrysalis) is #24 and the week’s best-selling album on vinyl.

At Singles, Lil Nas X’s “MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)” (RCA) logs a fifth consecutive week at #1. Picking up 7.4m streams over the past seven days, the track held off competition from Justin Bieber f/Daniel Caesar & GIVĒON’s “Peaches” (Def Jam) and Joel Corry, Raye & David Guetta's “BED” (Asylum), who hang on at #2 and #3, respectively.

Tion Wayne & Russ Millions’ “Body” (Atlantic) rises 10 slots to #4 following the release of a mega remix featuring seven additional rappers. Doja Cat f/SZA’s “Kiss Me More” (Ministry of Sound) climbs three slots to a new peak of #6. “Heat Waves” by Glass Animals is up to #19.
