Congratulations to Jess Glynne, who lands straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart with I Cry When I Laugh.

The singer-songwriter’s first record finishes the week with combined sales of just under 60,000, giving her the second fastest selling debut album of 2015 behind James Bay’s Chaos And The Calm (64,000 combined sales).

"I can’t believe it. It’s just… wow!" Jess told Official Charts. "It genuinely hasn’t sunk in yet – it really hasn’t. It’s the most insane feeling to have your whole album accepted by the British public.

"To see how well it’s been received is possibly one of the most overwhelming feelings I’ve ever had. I’m so proud and excited about this album – I love every song on it. The fact that people are buying it and loving it as well is like some insane dream!"
