WHOAH.

My new album is #28 in the Official UK Midweek Albums Chart!

And my name is mentioned casually alongside Taylor Swift, Doechii and Hawkwind in this news piece…

Thank you, amazing music fans!!!!!

This is my fourth midweek chart placement, and each time I marvel at how these albums I write and produce myself and release from my house via email and social media posts have sat amongst some of the biggest names in pop.

I mean…hi Elton and Brandi Carlile! I LOVE YOUR MUSIC. You met through a letter? That's very fun. You're PENFRIENDS too!

It’s even more amazing when you look at the numbers – if today's chart was based on album sales (not streams), “House Of Stories” would be #4 today. NUMBER FOUR.

Oh hi Taylor Swift, greetings again Sir Elton, and hello Hawkwind! 37 studio albums....RESPECT.

It would bring me great joy to see my name in the pop charts at the end of this week, but what’s way more important is to acknowledge and appreciate the outpouring of love and support for this new collection of songs.

THANK YOU. None of this happens without YOU.

Music isn’t a competition. “House Of Stories” is my best album yet, and I’m so proud to share it with you.

If you don’t have your copy yet, it’s a great day to grab yours from my shop! Choose from four beautiful vinyl colours, CDs and KiT box sets. I’ve even made 3- and 5-CD bundles in case you’d like to give the gift of Penfriend to your friends :)
