Wolf Alice celebrate first Number 1 album – Music News




Wolf Alice celebrate their first chart-topping record as their new album Blue Weekend lands straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart.

The band’s third studio album opens at summit with 36,000 chart sales – overtaking Royal Blood to claim the biggest opening week for a British group in 2021 so far. Their previous albums My Love Is Cool (2015) and Visions of a Life (2017) both reached Number 2.
