Radiohead is having a fantastic week on the charts in the United Kingdom, where the English rock band hails from. The group has two singles bouncing back onto the nation’s most competitive songs ranking, and interest in its Grammy-winning discography is growing as it delivers only its second-ever live set, Hail to the Thief (Live Recordings 2003–2009).

Three different albums by Radiohead appear on various charts in the U.K. at the moment. All three titles make a home on at least a trio tallies apiece, with one managing to live on four – and they’re all growing in popularity again.

OK Computer Stands Out as Radiohead’s Biggest Winner

OK Computer jumps to No. 66 on the Official Albums chart this week, while also soaring into the top 20 on the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales lists. The decades-old alternative set even returns to the top 10 on the Official Vinyl Albums ranking.

The Bends and In Rainbows

Both The Bends and In Rainbows can also be found on the Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Vinyl Albums charts, though OK Computer is the only Radiohead project to find space on the all-encompassing albums roster. The Bends is the bigger winner of the two, with both sets living inside the top 40 on all lists.

“Let Down” Pushes Radiohead’s Catalog North

Radiohead’s entire charting discography is climbing largely thanks to the virality of “Let Down.” That album cut, originally featured on OK Computer, became a hit seemingly out of nowhere earlier this year after spearing like wildfire on TikTok. The continued success of the track has propelled OK Computer higher and reignited interest in all things Radiohead, lifting more than just OK Computer itself.

“Let Down” and “Creep” Return

“Let Down” and “Creep” — two of Radiohead’s most successful songs — both return to the Official Singles chart. This time around, “Let Down” reenters the tally at No. 88, just a few spots beneath its No. 85 peak, while “Creep,” arguably the band’s most familiar composition, lands at No. 95. Both tracks are also growing on the Official Singles Streaming chart, lifting to Nos. 62 and 68, respectively.
