Jack Savoretti celebrates second chart-topping album with Europiana: “I’m genuinely very emotional”

Jack Savoretti celebrates his second Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart with Europiana.

The singer-songwriter's seventh album, Europiana bows with a total of 21,000 chart sales, with 82% of that figure being physical purchases on CD and vinyl.

The entry marks Jack’s second UK chart-topper, following 2019’s Singing To Strangers.

Speaking to OfficialCharts.com from the piano where he wrote the record, Jack Savoretti said: “Thank you so much. I wrote an album that I knew would give us some escapism, give us that holiday and the summer we deserved. You guys got us this, This is all you. I’m overwhelmed, I’m very touched and I’m genuinely very emotional.”
