Dozens of albums and songs mount comebacks on the music charts in the United Kingdom this week. This is not due to any special sales or events that turn various tunes and projects into top performers all of a sudden, but rather the disappearance of a number of recent wins after Record Store Day. <\/p>\n
A large group of beloved singers and groups debuted singles and albums across a variety of charts in the U.K., as is the case every year when the music industry event rolls around and then passes. Many of those projects, some of which were only released in limited quantities, disappear within a few days, and most never return. That loss of what can be dozens of releases creates a vacuum, and all of a sudden there is space for regular strong sellers and powerful streamers to return. <\/p>\n
Several hugely successful musical acts find their way back to various rankings across the Atlantic, and few perform as well as Radiohead<\/a> this time around.<\/p>\n Radiohead\u2019s OK Computer Returns to Multiple Charts<\/p>\n Three of Radiohead\u2019s full-lengths find their way back to two charts apiece. Between the three, OK Computer is the biggest winner and the only one that reappears within the top 40. The group\u2019s 1997 full-length reenters the Official Physical Albums<\/a> list at No. 40. The set comes in just three spaces lower, at No. 43 on the Official Albums Sales<\/a> tally. The first of those two rosters looks only at purchases on CD, cassette, and vinyl, while the Official Albums Sales roster includes digital downloads as well.<\/p>\n Radiohead\u2019s In Rainbows Reappears in the U.K.<\/p>\n In Rainbows is the second-highest-ranking Radiohead collection to return. That full-length, which the alternative outfit shared in 2007 \u2013 a decade after OK Computer \u2013 bounces back onto the Official Physical Albums chart at No. 71 and to the Official Albums Sales list at No. 77.<\/p>\n Radiohead\u2019s The Bends Returns in the Lower Rungs<\/p>\n The Bends, the earliest of Radiohead\u2019s three comebacks, surges onto the same two rosters only about a dozen spaces behind where In Rainbows appears. The Bends settles at No. 86 on the Official Physical Albums chart and No. 88 on the Official Albums Sales rundown after not landing on either register just days ago.<\/p>\n Radiohead\u2019s OK Computer Also Lands on the Vinyl Albums Chart<\/p>\n INDIO, CA – APRIL 21: Musician Thom Yorke of Radiohead performs on the Coachella Stage during day 1 of the 2017 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival (Weekend 2) at the Empire Polo Club on April 21, 2017 in Indio, California.

OK Computer reappears at No. 25 on the Official Vinyl Albums tally. That marks the loftiest placement for any collection by the English band at the moment.<\/p>\n The Bends Celebrates 100 Weeks as a Bestseller<\/p>\n All three of Radiohead\u2019s currently-charting albums have spent at least 100 weeks on every list on which they appear. The Bends earns its one hundredth stay on the Official Albums Sales ranking. Interestingly, that project also stands out as Radiohead\u2019s longest-charting of the titles that are present at the moment. The Bends is up to 309 stays on the Official Physical Albums roster.<\/p>\n Radiohead\u2019s OK Computer Reached No. 1 Everywhere<\/p>\n Looking only at the Radiohead full-lengths that can be found on the U.K. charts this week, OK Computer stands out as the only one that has hit No. 1 on all three charts. In Rainbows did top the Official Physical Albums chart, but it peaked in ninth place on the Official Albums Sales ranking. The Bends soared as high as No. 4 on the physical tally, though has thus far failed to crack the uppermost region on the Official Albums Sales list. Instead, the Radiohead classic, which helped turn the musicians into superstars all around the world more than 30 years ago, peaked at No. 12.<\/p>\n
