Rag'n'Bone Man's momentum on the Official Albums Chart continues as another impressive sales week keeps him at Number 1.The soul singerâs debut album Human has outsold the rest of this weekâs Top 5 combined, shifting 69,000 across physical, digital and streaming platforms. As announced last week, the record is officially the fastest-selling male debut of the decade.
Real name Rory Graham, the rising star won the British Breakthrough award (as well as the previously announced Criticsâ Choice gong) at the BRIT Awards earlier this week.
Settling for the runner-up slot is Amy Macdonald with her fourth album Under Stars (2). The album becomes Amy's fourth consecutive Top 5 entry on the Official Albums Chart, including her 2007 Number 1 debut This Is The Life. Look back at Amy's chart history here.
Rounding out this week's Top 5 are Ryan Adams who scores a personal best chart placing with Prisoner at 3, ahead of Ed Sheeran's x at 4 and Adele's 25 at 5. Ed's album has now spent 62 non-consecutive weeks in the Top 5.
