London Grammar break their Week One sales record

London Grammar break their Week One sales record

London Grammar have outstripped their Week One total for 2014’s debut album If You Wait in just five days. 

The Official Charts Midweek Sales Flash is in, and the trio’s second album is comfortable at the top of the albums chart.

The same can be said of Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee in the singles list, with Despacito (60,896 sales) ahead of Ariana Grande’s One Last Time (35,369 sales) in second place. David Guetta’s 2U (feat. Justin Bieber) posts 25,673 sales at No.3, with Unforgettable (24,359 sales) by French Montana (feat. Swae Lee) behind it at No.4. Liam Payne’s Strip That Down (feat. Quavo) completes the Top 5 with 24,252 sales. 

Behind London Grammar – who sold 33,000 copies of If You Wait in its maiden week – in the albums chart is Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (19,074 sales). Glen Campbell’s Adios (17,546 sales) is at No.3, with Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie’s eponymous album at No.4 on 15,450 sales. Katy Perry’s Witness (13,551 sales) is hanging on at No.5, pushed hard by Rag’N’Bone Man’s Human (13,469 sales) at No.6.
