The Harmony Codex (SW Records), a solo album by Porcupine Tree member Steven Wilson, is at No. 2 on the most recent Official Chart Update. The Harmony Codex, if it maintains on course, would surpass the top positions of 2017's To The Bone (No. 3) and 2021's The Future Bites (No. 4), becoming Wilson's highest charting solo effort. The sophomore album Falling Or Flying (FAMM) by British R&B singer Jorja Smith rounds out the podium at the midweek stage. With it debuting at No. 3 on the chart blitz, the BRITs Critics Choice award winner should make a third trip in the UK top 10. Black Stone Cherry, a rock band from Kentucky, may win a fourth U.K.  top 10 with Screamin' At The Sky (Mascot), set to bow at No. 5; U.K. retro synth-pop trio Gunship could ride to a first U.K. top 10 with concept album Unicorn (Horsie In The Hedge), poised for a No. 7 start; while British soul veteran Beverley Knight who could bag her fifth top 10 with The Fifth Chapter (Tag8), set to start at No. 10.
