Kings of Leon to land sixth UK No. 1 album with When You See Yourself

Nashville rock outfit Kings Of Leon are on course to score their sixth UK number one album this week with When You See Yourself.

The US group's follow-up to 2016’s Walls was released on March 5, with the four-piece already looking extremely likely to nab their sixth consecutive number one album in the UK.

The Official Charts Company (OCC) have stated that When You See Yourself scored the most physical and download sales over the weekend to build up a 10,000 unit lead over their competition by March 4.

The OCC adds that Kings Of Leon are currently outperforming the rest of the top five albums combined, including records by the likes of Gabrielle, Japan and DMA’s.

When You See Yourself has also been released in the form of a non-fungible token (NFT) - a type of cryptocurrency. Each unique token contains artwork, tickets, music and other forms of content.

According to a press statement, Kings of Leon’s NFT collection will harness “the power of the band’s music and their new album visuals to deconstruct, degenerate and distort iconic band symbols and photography”.

In Sam Steiger's recent review of When You See Yourself for Hot Press, he wrote:

"It’s with very good reason that Kings of Leon have, for almost 20 years, been able to consistently bother the upper limits of the charts. I see no reason for that trend not to continue."
