Troye Sivan’s ‘Something to Give Each Other’ on Track For U.K. Top 10

Troye Sivan’s third studio LP is away to a solid start.

Released last Friday (Oct. 13), Something to Give Each Other is on track for a top 10 debut in the U.K. (via Polydor), slotting in at No. 7 on the national midweek chart.

If it holds steady, Something to Give Each Other would mark the Australian pop artist’s third top tier effort, after 2015’s Wild (No. 5) and 2018’s Bloom (No. 10).

Streaming is a big part of the picture.

The new album appears at No. 4 on Spotify’s Top Albums Global Debut chart (Oct. 12-15), behind sets by Latin superstar Bad Bunny, U.S. rapper Ken Carson and Migos’ Offset, respectively.

The numbers aren’t yet in for the U.S., though Sivan has already enjoyed a chart rush stateside.

Single “Rush” impacted 12 Billboard charts in late July, both domestically and internationally, including a No. 77 debut (and peak) on the Hot 100, thanks to 6.1 million on-demand streams and sold 2,000 copies in week one.

That was Sivan’s eighth entry on the tally and first since 2021’s “You” with Regard and Tate McRae, and first solo appearance since “My My My!” in 2018. To date, his career best on the Hot 100 is No. 23 with “Youth” from 2016.

Sivan did the rounds of U.S. late-night TV last week, stopping by Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen and more, to discuss an album that’s been described as the essence of “sex, dance, sweat, community, queerness, love and friendship,” and passage through a difficult time.

The five-year gap between Something to Give Each Other and his last album, Bloom, “wasn’t intentional,” he told Fallon. Work had begun, “then COVID, then I was filming a TV show, doing whatever. It just took a long time. I’m genuinely, like, this is the most proud I’ve ever been of anything.”

Bloom gave Sivan a career-best No. 4 on the Billboard 200, one of his four top 10 appearances on the U.S. albums chart.

Sivan is the cover star for the September 2023 issue of Rolling Stone AU/NZ.
