Neil Young has been a global superstar for well over half a century at this point. He began releasing music under his own name in the late 1960s, and ever since, he has remained a favorite among millions. The singer and songwriter is still hard at work and, in fact, much more prolific than many others his age, as he approaches 80.

Young is known for delivering new full-lengths with regularity. Between studio recordings, re-releases, deluxe editions, live albums, and a bootleg series that just keeps growing, fans of the Canadian talent never have to wait long before getting their hands on brand new work. The country/rock/Americana musician is back on the charts with a new release this week in the United Kingdom — one that brings him close to the summit on multiple lists, and which even helps him score a handful of new top 10 wins.

Neil Young’s Coastal Arrives on the Charts

The soundtrack that accompanies Young’s new documentary Coastal appears on three charts in the U.K. this week. It reaches the top 10 on two of them and only misses out on entering that coveted space on the third by a few spots. It seems that no matter what Young releases, fans are quick to buy.

Neil Young Lands Another Top 10 on the Americana Chart

The Coastal project opens highest on the Official Americana Albums chart. On that list, which is specific to the genre in its name, Young enters at No. 6. As the set arrives, he earns his fourteenth career top 10. Only three of his projects that have landed anywhere on the tally have missed the uppermost region, which is a pretty impressive track record.

Physical Sales Power Neil Young to Another Top 10

The same title also barely breaks into the top 10 on the Official Physical Albums chart, which focuses exclusively on CDs, vinyl, and cassettes, regardless of the style of the music featured on the projects that hit the tally. Young starts Coastal at No. 10 on that roster, collecting his sixteenth career top 10 on this ranking. He has placed a total of 62 titles somewhere on the 100-spot list, so his percentage of top-tier placements isn’t as high here as on the Americana-only list, though that’s not surprising.

Coastal is a Strong Bestseller

Coastal also earns Young a new win on the Official Albums Sales chart. Although it doesn’t land inside the top 10, the soundtrack kicks off its time at lucky No. 13 on what is arguably the most competitive of the three rankings it reaches this frame.

Neil Young’s Coastal Doc Reached Theaters

The Coastal documentary followed Young as he returned to the road after COVID. The movie reached theaters in mid-April and was directed by his wife, Daryl Hannah, with whom he has worked before in this capacity. The project enjoyed a short run, grossing under $100,000 — a figure that’s not unusual for this type of film. Clearly, it is also bringing in revenue thanks to its soundtrack, which has quickly become a bestselling release.
