Info zu ACT III

„ACT III“, das neunte Studioalbum der Rockband Kasabian aus Leicester, belegt derzeit Platz 1 in der Wochenmitte-Aktualisierung. Sollte das Album seine Führung behalten, wäre es das achte Nummer-1-Album der Band in Folge in Großbritannien, womit sie in Bezug auf die Gesamtzahl der Alben an der Spitze der Charts mit Künstlern wie Oasis und Led Zeppelin gleichziehen würden.

Auf Platz 2 fordert PRESIDENT mit ihrem Debütalbum „Blood Of Your Empire“ Kasabian heraus. Die mysteriöse Metalcore-Band, die Anfang 2025 gegründet wurde und aus den Mitgliedern The President, Heist, Protest und Vice besteht, knüpft mit diesem Album an ihre vorherige EP „King Of Terrors“ an und liegt derzeit weniger als 900 Chart-Einheiten hinter Kasabian.

In den Top 5 zur Wochenmitte sind mehrere Neueinsteiger vertreten. Die slowakische Künstlerin ADÉLA steigt mit ihrem Debüt-Studioalbum „PRIMA“, getragen vom Erfolg ihrer Single „Ain’t in LA“, auf Platz 3 ein. Die Popsängerin Natalie Imbruglia platziert sich auf Platz 4 mit „Algorithm“, ihrem ersten Studioalbum seit fünf Jahren. Wenn es diese Position hält, wird „Algorithm“ Imbruglias höchstplatziertes Album seit ihrem 2005 erschienenen Album „Counting Down The Days“ sein. Olivia Rodrigos ehemaliger Chartstürmer rundet die Top 5 ab.

Weiter unten in der Aktualisierung liegt der ehemalige Thin-Lizzy-Frontmann Ricky Warwick mit „Fire & Vengeance“ auf Platz 6 und strebt damit seine bisher beste Solo-Platzierung an, während Ellie Gouldings „I Know Too Much“ auf Platz 10 in Richtung Top 10 vorrückt. Dexys streben mit „LOVE“ auf Platz 11 ihr neuntes Top-40-Album an, und der Singer-Songwriter Jamie Webster aus Liverpool steigt mit „Running Round The Sun“ auf Platz 13 in die Charts ein.

Kasabian

Kasabian
took the British press by storm in the early 2000s by mixing traces of the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, and Primal Scream with Oasis-sized confidence and DJ Shadow-influenced electronics. Named after Linda Kasabian, Charles Manson's getaway driver turned state witness, the Leicester-based group also stole a page from the Band by moving into a remote farmhouse to brew its music. Communal life and a slew of shared influences produced an electronic, rock-oriented sound that harked back to the Madchester days of baggy pants and druggy dancing. Kasabian expanded that sound on later albums, but the band's foundation remained rooted in swaggering, fragmented dance textures and boisterous rock & roll.

With his acerbic approach to interviews, swaggering lead singer Tom Meighan quickly became a darling of the press during the band's infancy, and Kasabian's revolutionary logos and sleeve art only added to the excitement. Foldout poster sleeves, 10" versions, and hand-stenciled covers accompanied singles like "Club Foot," "L.S.F," and "Processed Beats." The hype paid off as Kasabian's self-titled debut cracked the Top Five in October 2004, just one month after its U.K. release. Four singles landed in the Top 20 within six months, establishing the bandmates as rock & roll royalty in the process.

Founding guitarist Chris Karloff left the lineup two years later, citing creative differences with the remaining members. Kasabian's second album, Empire, had already been recorded, and guitarist Jay Mehler was brought aboard to replace Karloff during live performances. (Mehler eventually became an official member in 2008.) Empire was ultimately released in August 2006 and debuted atop the U.K. charts, with the title track soon becoming the band's third Top Ten hit. The band took home an NME Award in 2007 and began work on another album later that year. Dan the Automator was brought in to share production duties with Sergio Pizzorno, and the resulting U.K. chart-topper West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum appeared in 2009. Automator would return for the 2011 album Velociraptor!, featuring the leadoff single "Switchblade Smiles." In 2013, Mehler left the group and joined former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher in his group Beady Eye, but the band carried on as a four-piece and recorded a new album with Pizzorno in the producer's chair. Named after the album's total running time, 48:13 arrived in 2014, featuring the lead single "Eez-eh."
