Skindred Secure Historic First UK Number 1 Album With "You Got This"

Welsh genre blenders Skindred have officially secured their first ever UK Number 1 album with You Got This, marking a major milestone in a career spanning nearly three decades.

Released in April 2026, You Got This is the band’s ninth studio album, continuing their signature fusion of reggae, metal, punk, and pop. While pushing further into hook driven, crossover territory.

The achievement is particularly significant given their near-miss with 2023’s Smile, which peaked at Number 2. This time, fan support and sustained momentum carried them over the line cementing their place as one of the UK’s most enduring and unpredictable alternative acts.

More than just a chart position, the Number 1 reflects a wider resurgence of UK heavy music breaking into mainstream visibility proving that genre blending bands can still dominate at the highest level.
