Eminem, Olivia Rodrigo and Glass Animals are also near the top spots.

SOFT PLAY's fourth album 'HEAVY JELLY' is currently in the Top 3 of the UK album charts.

Sitting alongside releases from Eminem, Olivia Rodrigo and Glass Animals, this could mark the highest-charting album to date for the Tunbridge Wells duo, with their previous three albums all reaching the Top 10.

The Dork cover stars spoke to the Official Charts Company about their return and the prospect of competing with one of their musical influences.

The Dork cover stars spoke to the Official Charts Company about their return and the prospect of competing with one of their musical influences.

Laurie Vincent explains: "We worked really, really hard on this music, so to see it pay off and the fans are enjoying the music as much as we do… this is the music we want to make, and Heavy Jelly's release has definitely given us a new lease of life and a new sense of confidence."

Isaac Holman adds, "I've been listening to Eminem my whole life. He's one of our heroes. He's one of our biggest influences! We've never had a Top 5 record before, so landing that would be incredible."
