Skepta has just scored a chart personal best with his fourth studio album Konnichiwa smashing in at No.2 on the Official UK Albums Chart, just missing out on the top spot after Radiohead entered at No.1 with A Moon Shaped Pool, securing their sixth UK No.1 album, after just five days on sale.

Konnichiwa is the much-anticipated follow up to the London MC's last album Doin' It Again, which was released five years ago and, after shutting it down up and down the country on his mini UK this week, this chart position proves he's on top of his game. 

In a recent interview with BBC 1Xtra's Semtex, Skepta spoke of his bond with Drake (who's Views falls to No.4 this week) saying: “I can’t tell how he heard of me. I will never know, but I’ll put my money on him finding me online and searching for my music because that’s what he’s like – he’s a music lover.

"For me, it was a blessing that he was co-signing me and bigging me up, because I’m still gonna do what I’m gonna do anyway," he continued. "I’m just blessed to have them man supporting. My album came out on the 6th when I was in Toronto and it’s like home. The way they’ve got me out there is mad.”

Official UK Albums Chart Top 5:

1. Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
2. Skepta - Konnichiwa
3. Beyoncé - Lemonade
4. Drake - Views
5. Gregory Porter - Take Me To The Alley

Musicians You Didn't Know Were In Movies

Meanwhile over in the Official UK Singles Chart, Drake makes it a FIFTH week at No.1 with 'One Dance' Ft. Wizkid & Kyla, Calvin Harris & Rihanna stay put at No.2 with 'This Is What You Came For' and Justin Timberlake enters at No.3 with his infectious new single 'Can't Stop The Feeling'.

Official UK Singles Chart Top 5:

1. Drake - One Dance Ft. Wizkid & Kyla
2. Calvin Harris - This Is What You Came For Ft. Rihanna
3. Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling
4. Sia - Cheap Thrills
5. Mike Posner - I Took A Pill In Ibiza
