A Kings Langley singer-songwriter who performed on Taylor Swift's tour this summer is on track to chart in the UK top three.

Griff, 23, is a former St Clement Danes student and released her first album, Vertigo, on Friday (July 12).

It is expected to reach number three in the Official Albums Chart, according to PA.

All of this week’s top five albums are predicted to be new releases, with Griff's expected to reach number three in the Official Albums Chart, according to PA.

Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) appears nailed on for number one with Travis’s LA Times likely to become the band’s highest charting record in more than two decades at number two.

Cat Burns is on course to see her debut, Early Twenties, reach number four and X’s by Cigarettes After Sex is predicted for number five.

Griff described Kings Langley as “just wildly middle class and quintessentially British” in an interview with i-D Magazine in 2019, adding that the “village just outside Watford” is “nice though”.

On leaving the Chorleywood school, she told her teachers and parents that she was taking a gap year to avoid questions about her plans to go into music but instead released The Mirror Talk EP in November 2019, aged just 18.

Griff was a support act for Taylor Swift before her Wembley Stadium show on June 22 this year.
