A fifth Number 1 in the bag for Florence & The Machine (Polydor Records). “16 years on from Lungs, I take none of this for granted. I’m so grateful to everyone who took time with this record. It is a scream, but I also wanted it to be a balm to anyone who needed it. Sending love x.” - Florence Welch https://lnkd.in/gjBeNjTg #florenceandthemachine #music #musicbiz

Official Charts CEO Martin Talbot comments on a huge record-breaking week for British music, as both Dave and Lily Allen return to the Official Albums Chart with a bang: “Congratulations to Dave on an enormous first week for his acclaimed new album. It is a massive achievement to break so many records, three albums into his career, with what has been rightly acclaimed as a modern-day masterpiece. “Meanwhile, Lily Allen is close behind in the Top 5 with her powerful, devastatingly personal new album, making a huge digital-only impact despite its short notice release last week. What a joy to see, in one week, the return of two very different British music icons, and for them to underline so powerfully the enduring health of British music in 2025.” #music #rap #britishmusic https://lnkd.in/ehsR_j4B
