Adele says Hello to Number 1 again after headlining Glastonbury
Plus new entries and climbers from Neil Young, Muse, DJ Shadow. Rihanna, The 1975 and more.
It's Adele's world and we're merely living in it this week, as the megastar next door dominates the Official Albums Chart following her powerful headlining set at this year's Glastonbury Festival.
Third album 25 vaults 13 places to reclaim the Number 1 spot thanks to a post-festival sales surge of 231% versus last week. Also buoyed by its long-awaited release on streaming services last Friday (24 June), the record logs a 13th week at the top today. Check out the album's full, week-by-week run on the Official Chart.
Adele's back catalogue is also enjoying a resurgence, with sophomore effort 21 zooming 57 notches to land at 10, while her debut 19 rockets 163 places to Number 12, back in the Top 40 after a six-month break.
