Two very special releases celebrate a year on the U.K. albums chart this frame, which is a big milestone for any title to reach. While the musicians behind those collections are surely excited to have created projects popular enough to chart for 52 weeks, their success pales in comparison to the No. 1 album in the country, which has been living on the ranking for several years.

Here are five titles that make waves on this week's U.K. albums chart.

No. 1 - The Beatles - Abbey Road

As it turns 50 years old, The Beatles' Abbey Road doesn't just rise on the albums chart, it takes over once again. The beloved release, often referred to as one of the best LPs in history, rockets straight to No. 1 on the tally, becoming the latest title from the Fab Four to bounce back to the highest possible spot on the chart after decades away. Amazingly, this isn't even the first time the group has managed this feat, as they returned to the No. 1 rung two years ago with another former chart-topper celebrating five decades in the spotlight.

No. 24 - DaBaby - Kirk

American rapper DaBaby has enjoyed a rise that can only be described as meteoric, even if that word is overused at this point. Last year, he was still only known by some in the industry and in the hip-hop community, but now he's landed hit singles and at least one successful album in countries all around the world. The musician's new effort Kirk opens at No. 24 in the U.K., easily securing him his best placement.

No. 33 - Becky Hill - Get to Know

For most singers, a No. 33 start for a debut album is fairly impressive, but for Hill, it's actually a bit disappointing, especially considering how well the tracks featured on the set have performed. Over a period of several years, the pop musician has scored four top 40 hits in the U.K., and they're all present on Get to Know, so it's a bit surprising the set doesn't lift a bit higher.

No. 42 - Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper - A Star is Born soundtrack

Lady Gaga seems to be gearing up to release her sixth full-length, but that doesn't mean fans are done with the soundtrack that took over the world in late 2018. The singer's A Star Is Born album turns one this frame, and it's still performing fairly well for a title that has moved an impressive number of copies. The Grammy and Oscar-winning project is present just outside the top 40 as it hits its important milestone.

No. 65 - Travis Scott - Astroworld

As Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born turns one, another superstar's latest album does the same just a few rungs below. Travis Scott's Astroworld is now one year old, and thanks in part to a slew of still-popular singles and a recent documentary that shows how the title was created and recorded, it continues to move enough equivalent units every frame to find space on the tally.
