The Beatles' classic album Rubber Soul, originally released in December 1965, has returned to No. 1 on the UK Album Charts after being re-released with additional early session recordings and home demos. The new release faces competition from Blossoms, but it would mark a significant achievement if Rubber Soul reaches No. 1 again this Friday, as The Beatles' last such feat was in 2019 with Abbey Road. The expanded version includes previously unheard tracks like John Lennon's demo "Little Girl" and early versions of famous songs.

Story summary
The Beatles' sixth studio album Rubber Soul, originally released in December 1965, has returned to the top spot on the UK Album Charts over 60 years after its initial release. This re-release includes 24 early session recordings, including previously unreleased tracks and home demos from John Lennon, such as "Little Girl." The album held the No. 1 position for eight consecutive weeks when it was first released in Britain and the United States. If Rubber Soul maintains its current lead until Friday, it would mark the first time since October 2019 that a Beatles album has achieved this feat with Abbey Road. Currently competing for the top spot are English indie rock band Blossoms' track "Songs From The Wedding Cake" and former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr's album The Age Of Everything, placing second and third respectively.
