Bastille Keeps UK Number 1 Album Spot With ‘Bad Blood’

‘Bad Blood’ album has topped the charts once more, for a second week running since its post BRIT Awards boost.

Dan Smith’s debut kept hold of the number 1 spot by just 1,000 copies, with Arctic Monkeys’ ‘AM’ just behind in number 2.

Wild Beasts scored their highest album chart placing to date with fourth LP ‘Present Tense’. Beck’s ‘Morning Phase’ was the highest new entry, finishing at number 4 after being at the top during the midweek charts.

St. Vincent’s self-titled album landed at number 21, with ScHoolboy Q’s ‘Oxymoron’ just behind at number 23.

In the singles, Pharrell’s ‘Happy’ went back to the top spot for the third time. Last week’s number 1, Sam Smith’s ‘Money On My Mind’, fell down one place to 2.
