The Snuts have been in this position before. In 2021, the Scottish indie-rockers were in the midst of a very close battle with Demi Lovato to top the Official Albums Charts.

In the end, The Snuts would win out, debuting at Number 1 with debut album WL. (And with less than 300 chart units in it!) Now, we found ourselves in very familiar territory as Jack, Callum, Joe and Jordan now face down stiff competition from George Michael and Slipknot to score their second chart-topping album in the UK.  "We're feeling good about our chances," vocalist Jack tells us over the phone as the band finish a night in Bristol on tour. "We've got a really great fan base.

They've done it for us before!" The release of Burn The Empire comes little over a year after WL debuted at Number 1 in the UK, so the band work fast.

It's also nice for them, Jack says, to experience real-life, in-person promotion with fans for the first time. "There's something to be said for the internet," Jack tells us, "it was important for us [to build the fanbase last year[, have people come down to the record stores and the shows, you get that one-on-one reaction that you crave as an artist. "You can actually see it, rather than just over the internet."  If the nerves are showing for another chart battle, then it's definitely not showing on Jack - he sounds energised and ready to go.
