Years after its release, Lewis Capaldi's debut album remains a favorite among fans in the U.K. This week, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent reaches a milestone few modern records manage, showing that even as time passes, listeners aren't ready to let go of the singer-songwriter's first full-length, which turned him into a global superstar.
Capaldi's Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent has now spent 300 weeks on the Official Albums chart, the U.K.'s main ranking of the most-consumed full-lengths. This win is a first for the musician. The set climbs only one spot this frame, advancing from No. 98 to No. 97 as it extends its impressive run.
While his debut set maintains a steady presence, Capaldi's sophomore effort, Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent, is still working its way toward similar longevity. The collection, released in 2023, has now spent 49 weeks on the Official Albums chart, as it has yet to reach a full year on the tally. That project is no longer present on the tally, while its predecessor continues to find space…even if only barely.
Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent isn't just holding on, it's improving. In addition to its gains on the Official Albums chart, the title also moves up on the Official Albums Streaming ranking. It rises slightly from No. 82 to No. 80, as fans continue to press play on the record's biggest hits on platforms like Spotify.
While Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent has now spent 300 weeks on the Official Albums chart, its track record is even more impressive on the streaming-focused list. On the Official Albums Streaming roster, the title has now racked up 304 weeks, passing its tenure on the main albums ranking – but only by a few frames.
Capaldi earns one more entry on the U.K. charts this week, though not with anything new. His single 'Grace' returns to the Official Physical Singles Chart, re-entering at No. 75. The track, which originally served as the lead single from Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, has now spent an impressive 218 weeks on the list.
