Revolution Radio confirmed as Number One on the UK Official Chart

[Rumpelstiltskin2000]

I know I've posted this in the tweets thread but such exciting news possibly deserves it's own thread?

 

 

30,880 copies sold

 

The BBC have also reported on it:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37657357

Awesome!  Here's the link to the chart in case anyone wants to see for themselves.  The album is top of every chart (that it's eligible for) except streaming.  Was hoping for this, but not expecting it.

Who cares? I didn't get a ticket. I wish GD was unpopular so I could get a ticket.

Wow, this is only their third one? Super awesome.

Well you would've thought that Dookie was a No. 1 album but its first week sales were poor as the album didn't get success until a little while after the release. Also Uno probably would've got a No. 1 if it was released another week

# 2 is Barry Gibb?

Didn't know he was still going! #oldperson (oops sorry forgot I wasn't in the over 30s club!)

Barry Gibb is old by my standards.  I was surprised too, I thought they were all dead.

Only surviving member I think but yes, old even compared to me!

[Billie Hoe]

Ahhh I just saw it's currently at #2 in Germany! I'm seriously surprised by this, I didn't think they were that popular here anymore. They're still climbing it seems.

It's #1 in Ireland as "Highest Debut", as well as Italy

[MaraGreenDay]

That's so awesome! RevRad is #2 in the most important record store in México, that's something, right?

Awesome news!

#2 is really great! I had already lost my hopes in the German's taste of music, but obviously I was wrong. Hope we'll finally get some airplay now!

Sorry to hear that dude, I'm sure there's at least one douchebag reselling them online though :/

[RedundantIdiot]

I'm so happy they're number 1, I wanted it to happen but I'm surprised that it actually happened. 

When I saw that one republic had an album out the same day as GD I thought they'd beat GD to number 1

The great thing is that even if RevRad was released after a bad commercial performance (Uno, Dos and Trè), while 21st Century Breakdown after an "explosion" in the media (American Idiot), the chart positions are the same. Again, waiting for US charts!
