Coldplay shoot straight to Number 1 on this week’s Official UK Albums Chart with Music of the Spheres and claim the fastest-selling album of 2021 so far.

Shifting 101,000 chart sales in its opening week, Music of the Spheres becomes the band’s ninth consecutive chart-topping studio album.

It’s opening week figure surpasses Dave’s We’re All Alone In This Together, which opened on 74,000 in July, and is the first album to surpass 100,000 chart sales in a week since Ed Sheeran’s No.

6 Collaborations Project opened with 125,000 in July 2019. 85% of Coldplay’s week 1 figures were pure sales (physical and download), including 12,400 on vinyl, meaning it also tops this week’s Official Vinyl Albums Chart.
