Top 20 Albums Worldwide
Week 15'26 · Apr 10 – Apr 17, 2026
The TOP 20 for week 15 is one of those weeks where the chart holds every corner of the room at once. Post-punk from London. Protest trip-hop from Bristol with Tom Waits in the passenger seat. A Paisley Underground elder recorded live in Rome. Doom metal built on Frank Frazetta paintings. Two back-to-back Dreamcastle vaporwave records organised around LEGO product catalogues. A Belgian new-beat debut remastered 35 years on. And at number 1, an EP from a London post-punk quartet who describe their music as, among other things, music for vampires to dance to. We start at 20.
This Week's Story
20 entries across 10 countries, several decades of catalogue stacked against a couple of very new bands, and a genre map that refuses to settle on anything. A Bristol single made in a single day sitting below a London debut EP made out of rediscovered guitar riffs. Dreamcastle's LEGO catalogue between post-punk revival and Nashville death metal. That is the shape this week. Back next week, same time.
