Katy B on course for first UK No.1 album with ‘Little Red’
By Sam Rigby
Katy B is on course to claim her first UK number one album with Little Red.
The Crying For No Reason singer is ahead of London Grammar and Ellie Goulding in the race to top this week’s countdown, according to the midweek update.
Her debut On A Mission peaked at number two when it was released back in April 2011.
London Grammar’s debut If You Wait is at number two in the midweek update, while former chart-topper Goulding is at three with Halcyon.
Katy recently told Attitude that Little Red is a very different album to her debut.
She said: “My early twenties has definitely been different to when I wrote On a Mission. I was a student then and everything was kind of happening for the first time: falling in love, going out, not having my mum tell me what time to come in anymore – it was like, ‘Whoa, I’ve been let off the leash’.
“Whereas now I’ve moved out of my parents’ house and I’ve had to be a bit more responsible for everything: myself, my house, my career, my relationships, my actions – you know, everything.
“I feel like there’s a lot to work out in life, and I think that’s really what songwriting is for me: it’s sort of working life out, really.”
