Current UK midweek chart:

1) London Grammar
2) Glen Campbell
3) Ed Shearan
4) Buckingham/McVie
5) Katy Perry
6) Rag n Bone Man
7) The Beatles
8) Lady Antebellum
9) Roger Waters
10) Chuck Berry

Come on, surely they can outsell Glen Campbell.
I'd guess Katy Perry will shift more throughout the week.

Thanks for posting! What a list.

The album is #12 on the U.S. Hits Daily Doubles sales chart so far this week. Looks like it may end up in Billboard's top 20 albums.

Wow that's great, thanks for that, James.
They have had a lot of airtime on BBC Radio2, and Christine has been on The One Show and Breakfast Time....
Fantastic...

16 June 2017
London Grammar scoop first Number 1 album: "This really isn't something we ever expected to achieve"
Plus new entries in the Top 10 for Glen Campbell, Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie, and Katy Perry.


By Jack White
Congratulations to London Grammar, who go straight in at Number 1 with their second album, Truth Is A Beautiful Thing.

There was no sophomore slump for trio Hannah, Dan and Dot – Truth Is A Beautiful Thing charts one place higher than their debut If You Wait, which peaked at Number 2. It's also Number 1 on this week's Official Vinyl Albums Chart, and the Official Record Store Chart, which compiles the best-selling albums in independent record shops.

London Grammar told OfficialCharts.com: "This really isn't something we ever expected to achieve, it's such an honour and we are over the moon. We want to thank all our fans, September Management and our label Ministry of Sound."

Glen Campbell scores his highest UK chart placing since 1978 with farewell album Adios at Number 3, and Rag'n'Bone Man stays at 4 with Human.

Completing the Top 5 are Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie. Their self-titled album as a duo impacts at Number 5.

New entries and high climbers

Katy Perry's Witness lands at Number 6 this week, becoming her third Top 10 album. Witness follows Number 1 albums Teenage Dream and Prism. Also making a splash in this week's top flight is the late Chuck Berry. His final album Chuck is at 9, his first Top 10 since 1977 and fourth overall.

Lady Antebellum pick up a fifth Top 20 album with Heart Break at 14, while Cigarettes After Sex are also new with their self-titled debut at 27. Close behind at 31 is Taylor Swift, whose album 1989 re-enters the Top 200 following its return to all streaming services.

Liverpudlian rockers Anathema bag a second Top 40 as The Optimist makes its mark at 34. Finally, Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits returns to the Top 40 for a 23rd week at 36 following its prominent inclusion in HMV's Vinyl Week 2017, and hardcore band Rise Against howl their way to Number 38 with Wolves.

Top 5! Fantastic.

[FuzzyPlum]

Top 5 really is fantastic. At the same time I cant help but feel some disappointment it didn't chart even higher. Its frustrating as the Fleetwood Mac moniker, with or without Stevie would have probably pushed it to number 1. With the media blitz unlikely to continue and without further singles in the traditional sense its likely to drop out quite quickly, I fear. Anyway, top 5 is still a great achievement- way better than any BM solo album.

The only Mac-related new releases to hit the top 5 in the UK since Tango in the Night have been The Other Side of the Mirror (3) and Behind the Mask (1).

Say you will made no 6, Time (47) the Dance no 15.

In the meantime got to 133, Out of the Cradle 51 Gift of Screws 59 and Seeds we sow 82. Under the Skin (did not chart)

Street Angel 16 Trouble on Shrangri-La 43, In your Dreams 14, Songs from the Vault 14

All in all, it's quite encouraging. Different times, I suppose.

The only real comparison can be with Say You Will and I don't recall much, if any real marketing in the UK for that album. I still think its great, but I think the Fleetwood Mac name alongside the positive reviews and all the work Chris has done would have been enough to propel it to a higher chart placing (possibly #1)

I agree, and it's a real shame we'll never see another FM album as it would have got No1 easily.

This will drop quite quickly.

[dreamsunwind]

Wow if I have to be honest I wasn't even expecting top 10. That's great to hear!

[jbrownsjr]

This album is getting some really great reviews and surprisingly charting!!

So happy for them!!

[Bandon]

Hits Daily Double Sales Chart is final and places the album at no. 6!! The chart is usually fairly reflective of the Billboard chart. The album should enter the Billboard 200 in the top 10 for its first week. :nod:

It's #1 in my heart, and that's the only chart that matters.:woohoo:

oh yes times one billion to that:)
Back when I started the Buckingham McVie thread I knew inside this was gonna be special.
If I called the shots this would sell like Adele, but regardless I know this will reach the audience it needs to and I'm grateful for this album.

It's about being an artist. Not just for the artists' own personal need to create and grow, but to reach out and connect to an audience. The joy the music brings to people's lives. Inspiration to others to develop their own craft. So yeah, although we'd love for this record to be a commercial success, we all know it's so much more than that.

hey in the UK it beat Katy Perry (who is way ahead on US Billboard for their opening week) so that's not bad!!

Am I the only one who does hear JOY in this album, but didn't hear joy in SYW?

This album makes me smile from ear to ear. I love it so much!

Say You Will always felt like a tortured project to me, and perhaps worse, it didn't feel like a Fleetwood Mac album to me, rather a Buckingham Nicks album with a great backing band:)

I'm also not sure that Stevie's songs would be up to the standards we've gotten on this album. For me, this is the Fleetwood MAC album I've been waiting 30 years for and I couldn't be happier.

No doubt this is an upbeat joy album. Love it.
However Say You Will and In the Meantime are both excellent even though they are a bit darker in writing and music. Illume is probably as dark and raw as you can get. It fit perfectly on the album and for that era. Lindsey is a genius to take those raw emotional lines and not turn them into some simple pop song. The song is unpredictable, provoking, and unnerving just like 9/11 was. There definitely is some anger on Say You Will. Even positive Christine turned angry for Liar and Bad Journey.
So while the feelings and tones of the albums are different. Each one is a masterpiece IMHO.

[jbrownsjr]

We had a pool party yesterday and the album is so upbeat it really worked.

People loved it. Some younger peeps didn't even know who FMac was and they liked the music.
