Quote :

Elbow have scored their first Number One album, topping the official album charts today (March 16) with 'The Take Off And Landing Of Everything'.

The Bury quintet beat off competition from Paloma Faith, whose LP 'A Perfect Contradiction' reached the Number Two spot, while last week's Number One - Pharell Williams' 'Girl' - slipped down to three...

...'The Take Off And Landing Of Everything' is Elbow's sixth studio album and the first time the band have reached the top of the charts. The closest the group, fronted by Guy Garvey, had reached until this point was Number Two with 2011's 'Build A Rocket, Boys!'.

  

Fantastic news   
I now have faith in the British record-buying public again.

I'm proud as punch to have contributed to such a merited success !

Well done and congratulations to the elboys! So well deserved  

The Elboys are absolutely thrilled about this and mentioned it a number of times during the Paradiso concert. Deservedly so! Well done, Elbow!!!
