Beabadoobee is officially on a streak. Her fourth album‘Pylon’just debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. Official Albums Chart, marking her second consecutive chart-topper after 2024’s‘This is How Tomorrow Moves.’For context, her first two albums‘Fake It Flowers’and‘Beatopia’peaked at No. 8 and No. 4, so this rise has been steady, deliberate and well-earned.
What makes‘Pylon’even more exciting is the guest list. Hayley Williams of Paramore, Brendan Yates of Turnstile and Chino Moreno of Deftones all lend vocals to the record, pulling from pop-punk, hardcore and nu-metal in one project. It’s the kind of crossover that rarely happens, and it gives the album a wide appeal across multiple rock subgenres.
Beabadoobee also kicks off a U.K. and European arena tour this autumn, a major step up in venue size. With Michael Jackson’s‘The Essential’at No. 2 and Olivia Rodrigo’s latest at No. 3, the competition was tough, but Beabadoobee still came out on top.
