Rod Stewart<\/strong> is headed for his first #1 album in nearly five years in his native\u00a0U.K.<\/p>\n

Rod’s new album Swing Fever,<\/em> a collaboration<\/strong><\/a> with Squeeze<\/strong> keyboardist-turned-TV host and bandleader Jools Holland<\/strong>, is on track to top the charts across the pond, according to\u00a0the U.K.’s\u00a0Official Charts Company.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If it succeeds, this will be Rod’s 11th number one career album in the U.K. and Holland’s first. Rod’s last album to top the charts was 2019’s You’re In My Heart: Rod Stewart with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.\u00a0<\/em>That record consisted of Rod’s original vocal tracks for hits like “Maggie May” and “Forever Young” blended with new arrangements by the orchestra.<\/p>\n

Swing Fever<\/em> is a collection of upbeat, big band-style recordings of songs from the ’20s and ’30s, like “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Pennies from Heaven” and “Lullaby of Broadway.”<\/p>\n

Holland has released over a dozen albums, both solo and collaborations, since leaving Squeeze, but so far the highest he’s ever gotten on the U.K. charts has been #5.<\/p>\n
