The second episode of Official Charts' new live stream series The Record Club has aired, featuring special guest Jason Williamson, one half of Nottingham punk duo Sleaford Mods.
During his chat with host Jess Iszatt, Jason talked about the band's new retrospective All That Glue, which includes a selection of their most popular songs over the last decade as well as nine previously unreleased songs. The record is in contention for the top spot on this week's Official Albums Chart.
The musician also talked about finding mainstream success as an alternative act, and going up against Lewis Capaldi for Number 1 on this week's Official Albums Chart, saying: "No offence, but it's not in my stratosphere!"

Williamson is correct he's different from Mr. Capaldi in that his music appeals to a smaller market than Capaldi's does look at Capaldi's sales since release in May 2019 over 900,000 though weekly sales in the 2nd quarter of the year are still slow they start to pick up in the 3rd Quarter though traditionally the big artists wait until the 4th Quarter to release granted sales of physical music have gone down nearly 80% in the last 5 years take for comparisons sake Adele's 25 it sold in less than 2 weeks what it took Capaldi's album a year to sell and in six weeks of release 25 sold nearly 2.5 million units in the UK
