Farewell, Glen Campbell: The country music star's final record Adios reaches a new peak on this week's Official Album Chart

While Ed Sheeran regains the top spot with ÷, taking second place on the Official Albums Chart this week is late country music star Glen Campbell. 

The country icon, who passed away this week, sees his 64^th and final studio record Adios reach a new peak of Number 2 today, up 11 places. Recorded after Campbell’s 2011-2012 Farewell Tour following his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, it previously charted at Number 3 upon its release earlier this summer.

As well as reaching new highs on the main Albums Chart, Adios is the best-selling album in Scotland this week, and also takes Number 1 on the UK’s Official Americana Albums Chart, launched last year and compiled weekly by the Official Charts Company in conjunction with the Americana Music Association UK.
