With his first album released, Lewis Capaldi got UK's annual top seller twice, tying a 50-years old feat from Simon & Garfunkel.
Is this amazing achievement entirely down to the streaming juggernaut Someone You Loved, or is the artist, who just released his sophomore effort, here to stay?

Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent is arguably one of the biggest debuts in recent years, currently standing as the 6th most successful record from 2019. From 2018 to date, only Sour by Olivia Rodrigo did better among debuts.
If he hasn't been able to replicate his UK pure sales in remaining markets, Before You Go confirmed his ability to score larger than life hits.
Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent is trying to compete, but the comparison to its predecessor are difficult. It is still already up to a million sales.
The singer is up to 12.5 million equivalent album sales.

For album yea. I’m sure Dance Monkey has more than 2m digital and her other hits also sold well in the UK and Australia.
'Broken by Desire to be Heavenly Sent' is poised to be one of the biggest album-to-album declines ever
You probably mean her third album, but that is definitely not as big a flop as Lewis' second. It still keeps going quite strong actually.
Billie only has two albums (Don't Smile At Me was an EP), and the 2nd one isn't even a flop actually, it did almost half of the previous one. Ed Sheeran's last album would be a better comparison.
