Beabadoobee Rockets to UK Chart Domination

Beabadoobee, born Beatrice Laus, just pulled off a massive breakthrough: Beabadoobee now has her first ever UK Number 1 album with This Is How Tomorrow Moves. Released under Dirty Hit Records on August 9, the record shot straight to the top of the Official Albums Chart on August 16, 2024. For loyal listeners who have followed her rise from intimate bedroom pop to full-blown indie stardom, this feels like the moment she’s been working towards since her debut.

Her latest album didn’t just slip into the top spot — it bulldozed past competition, outpacing her previous high marks. Her 2020 debut Fake It Flowers hit number eight and 2022’s Beatopia climbed to four, but nothing matched this new high. Beyond the standard chart, she also grabbed the Number 1 seat on both the Official Record Store Chart and the Official Vinyl Albums Chart. Old-school physical music fans made a huge impact this time, echoing just how strong the vinyl revival and record shop devotion still are among her followers.

'This Is How Tomorrow Moves': A New Chapter

The album’s not just a commercial win—it’s an artistic leap. Featuring standout tracks like “Ever Seen,” “Take A Bite,” “Coming Home,” and “Beaches,” Beabadoobee is digging deeper into her own story than ever before. There’s a big focus on self-acceptance, learning from hard days, and navigating her own growth as both a young woman and an artist. Those themes clearly hit home for her audience, who have turned out in droves both to streaming services and, crucially, to buy physical copies—something not every modern artist can boast.

In a heartfelt statement after landing the top spot, Beabadoobee admitted she was “over the moon” and thanked fans and collaborators for standing by her side. That gratitude radiates through her music, where the personal roots are impossible to miss. Every song feels like a piece of a much bigger, bolder puzzle she’s still putting together.

This win isn’t just about numbers. It cements Beabadoobee’s position as a defining voice in 2020s British music, bridging an intimate, confessional songwriting style with a confident, modern sound. She sits comfortably among a new generation of artists shaping pop and indie rock in unexpected, honest ways.

If you’re excited to see where she goes next, good news: Beabadoobee is gearing up for a major U.S. tour in September. The buzz around her latest album promises sold-out venues and new fans on the other side of the Atlantic. After all, anyone who can top the charts with raw, introspective storytelling and a loyal, growing base is not done moving forward.
