"This is mad!" band member Amir Amor told Official Charts. When I think back to some of the seminal bands I’ve always loved, they all had at least two major records. I always dreamed of Rudimental having at least two major records – hopefully it will solidify to the world that we’re serious contenders in the game. We’re not going anywhere - we plan to stick around for a long time.”

Rudimental, who are made up of Amir, Piers Agget, Kesi Dryden and DJ Locksmith, finish with over double the sales of their nearest competitor – fellow collaborator Ed Sheeran leaps from 8 to Number 2 this week with x.

Meanwhile, Jess Glynne’s I Cry When I Laugh lifts from 5 to 3, David Gilmour’s former Number 1 Rattle That Lock is at 4, and this week’s Top 5 is completed by Stafford rockers Editors’, who earn their fifth consecutive Top 10 album with In Dream.
