Liam Gallagher’s debut solo album has gone straight in at number one, knocking Shania Twain’s comeback record off of the top spot.

The former Oasis frontman celebrated As You Were’s chart triumph by thanking all of his fans on Friday evening.

“Well, well, well, what do we ‘ave here? I reckon it looks like a Number 1 record, brothers and sisters,” he told OfficalCharts.com.

“Woohoo! I wanna thank everyone who bought it. I want to thank everyone who helped make it. As you were.”

Gallagher celebrated eight number one albums while part of Oasis, bringing his chart-topping total level with the likes of Queen, ABBA and George Michael.

As You Were had a combined sale of 103,000 units during its first week of release, outselling the rest of the top 10 combined.

Giggs is another high new entry, with his album Wamp 2 Dem shooting straight in at number two, while Ed Sheeran’s Divide clings on to the number three spot.

Killers album Wonderful Wonderful is at number four this week, while Concrete and Gold by the Foo Fighters is at number five.

Over in the singles charts, Post Malone is celebrating a second week at number one with Rockstar, while Camila Cabello’s Havana is at number two.

Gallager fans were just as impressed with his take on politics as his new album when he spoke out about Brexit earlier in the week.

“No thoughts on it, man. I love Europe. I guess the borders have got to be tightened but all that stuff about going ‘This is my country,’ I don’t get that. We all live under one sky,” he told NME.
