Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts debut at No. 3 on the U.K.’s Official Americana Albums chart with … More
Neil Young is one of a number of hugely popular musicians who have been at it for decades, and yet never seem to slow down. The singer-songwriter releases music constantly — usually at least one project per year, but sometimes more.
The celebrated performer now leads a new group called the Chrome Hearts, and his latest album, Talkin’ to the Trees, is credited to both Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts. The just-released studio effort earns the rocker several top 10 placements as it arrives in the United Kingdom.
Talkin’ to the Trees Debuts on Multiple U.K. Charts
Talkin’ to the Trees debuts highest on the Official Americana Albums chart, where Young and his newly-formed Chrome Hearts launch at No. 3. This frame, Young and company are bested by Van Morrison’s new Remembering Now, which debuts at No. 1, and Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, which is pushed from first to second place — even as fans in the U.K. continue to love that project, following her tour of the same name heading to that country.
Neil Young Scores Another Set of Top 10s
Young also lands inside the top 10 on both the Official Albums Sales chart and the Official Physical Albums ranking, as Talkin’ to the Trees opens at No. 9 on the two tallies simultaneously.
Neil Young’s Many Top 10 Albums
On the Official Albums Sales ranking, the Canadian talent has now scored 12 top 10 placements. Over on the list of bestselling Americana titles in the U.K., he’s landed 15 top 10 smashes, and 18 such successes on the Official Physical Albums chart throughout his lengthy career.
Neil Young’s Past Chart Successes
Talkin’ to the Trees debuts on five U.K.-based charts this week, and it opens inside the top 10 on a little more than half of them. The set also comes in at Nos. 21 and 25 on the Official Vinyl Albums and Official Album Downloads rankings, respectively.
It hasn’t been very long since Young last scored a hit on some of these lists. His most recent album before Talkin’ to the Trees was Early Daze, which dropped in June 2024, and which was also successful. His last several projects were all recorded with his band Crazy Horse, with whom he’s been working for decades on and off, but now he’s switched things up – but Young himself remains the main draw.
