Florence + The Machine have earned their fifth U.K. No. 1 album with Everybody Scream.
The group's sixth studio collection joins 2009 debut LP Lungs, 2011's Ceremonials, 2015's How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful? and 2022's Dance Fever in their tally of chart-toppers.
Speaking exclusively to Official Charts, lead vocalist Florence Welch said, "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."
Shifting the most copies on vinyl this week, Everybody Scream also tops the Official Vinyl Albums Chart.
As its candid lyricism gets the whole nation talking, Lily Allen's West End Girl rises two spots to clinch a new peak of No. 2. Despite its digital-only release so far, it's Lily's highest-charting album in 11 years in an unbroken streak of five consecutive Top 10 albums. It comes as Lily adds an extra London Palladium date to her West End Girl U.K. tour, kicking off next March.
The Charlatans claimed their 11th Top 10 record with We Are Love, and at No. 8, it marks the band's highest-charting in eight years.
