Elbow claim this week’s Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart as their latest collection Giants of All Sizes lands straight in at the top spot.

The record – which outperformed its closest competition, Ed Sheeran’s No.6 Collaborations Project, by more than double - marks the band’s third chart-topping record following 2014's The Take Off and Landing of Everything and 2017's Little Fictions. Giants of All Sizes is also this week’s best-selling album on vinyl.

Celebrating the news, Elbow frontman Guy Garvey tells OfficialCharts.com: “We're over the moon. It never stops being amazing having a Number 1. I'll be singing 'Lucky Number One' all day'."
