Taylor Swift and Fontaines D.C. in UK albums chart battle

Swift has bought the CD release of folklore forward to rival A Hero’s Death

After leading the mid-week album charts, Fontaines D.C have a fight on their hands with Taylor Swift’s surprise album folklore.

Swift appears to have bought the physical CD release of the album (the biggest album of 2020 worldwide) forward to increase her chances of a UK number 1 album.

However, with rave reviews all round, can the Irish band attain the title, for their second album (in only eighteen months!)?

You can catch Fontaines D.C. on tour next year.
