Jelly Roll’s most recent album Beautifully Broken is nearing its first birthday. The multi-genre star released his tenth full-length in October 2024 and has been promoting it heavily ever since through a string of major singles. He’s also kept his name on the charts with collaborations with stars like Brandon Lake and Alex Warren.

Now, fans in the United Kingdom are revisiting one of his earlier sets — one that helped lay the groundwork for his current success — and have turned it into a bigger chart win than ever before.

Ballads of the Broken Returns at a New Peak

Jelly’s Ballads of the Broken returns to the Official Country Artists Albums chart this week. The set reenters the genre-specific tally at No. 18 in just its second frame ever on the list. That spot marks a new high point for the title.

Ballads of the Broken Launched More Than a Year Ago

Ballads of the Broken first reached the Official Country Artists Albums chart in June 2024, when it opened at No. 19 before disappearing immediately afterward. It’s been more than a year since Jelly’s project last appeared on the ranking, and now, as it returns, it climbs one space higher than where it started.

“Son of a Sinner”

Released in September 2021, Ballads of the Broken arrived at a pivotal point in Jelly’s career. He had already built a loyal following through years in hip-hop and a gradual transition into rock and country, but he had yet to become a household name. The full-length — his eighth and first associated with a well-known record label — produced “Son of a Sinner,” one of the earliest tracks to significantly grow his audience.

Jelly Roll’s Three Current Hit Albums

Jelly occupies three spaces on the Official Country Artists Albums chart this week. Alongside the returning Ballads of the Broken, Beautifully Broken dips one rung to No. 8, while Whitsitt Chapel climbs two spots to No. 13. Both of those titles have previously broken into the top 10, and Beautifully Broken has spent two weeks at No. 1.

“Bloodline” with Alex Warren

None of Jelly’s solo tracks appear on U.K. songs charts at the moment, but thanks to his duet with Alex Warren, “Bloodline,” he’s still present on multiple tallies. The cut, featured on Warren’s debut full-length You’ll Be Alright Kid, lifts from No. 30 to No. 28 on the Official Singles roster. It also remains on rankings focused on streaming activity and pure sales, though it no longer holds a spot in their highest tiers.
