Little Mix have scored a second week at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart with Glory Days.
After achieving the highest first week sales for a UK female girl group Number 1 since Spice Girls' Spiceworld last week, the record notched up another 57,000 combined sales in the last seven days and is now certified Gold for sales over 100,000.
Glory Days is the 24th Number 1 album from an act coming from the X Factor, and Little Mix's first UK Number 1 album. Other X Factor alumni to top the Official Albums Chart this year include Olly Murs and James Arthur.
Just 2,000 copies behind Little Mix are Michael Ball and Alfie Boe, whose album Together rebounds two places to Number 2. Together has now spent four weeks inside the Top 5.

I Am A Stegosaurus
Yeah but than Glory Hole Days stopped it
P
Peyton
Aww I'm so happy for them they've worked hard for this & it's actually their best album so they deserve it & kudos for beating off such stiff competition.
SH
Scott Harris
So they managed to block out Metallica, Kate Bush, The Weeknd, Michael Ball and Alfie Boe from the top spot? Wow, that's really impressive!
I Am A Stegosaurus
What the actual f**k. I am not a fan of Kate Bush in any way but I'd rather her over Little Mix. Glory Days gets two weeks while 24HRS comes and passes quickly. This is pouring with
Maz
Really? But congrats to Little Mix.
T
TW
Beats me how they have overlooked the fact that Elvis has gone back up two places to no.3. Will he go back to no.1 over Christmas?
MusicStan_1997
Last week they beat Metallica and Bruno Mars to No.1 and this week they beat Kate Bush and The Weekend to No.1, like them or not there is no ending their popularity. I'm happy for them, the album is amazing.
I Am A Stegosaurus
Hopefully there will be an end to their popularity soon
A
Alexander
love your av are you going to see her in jan I am Dublin and the koko. cant wait also so true little mix aint going away anytime soon and that's as it should be.
MusicStan_1997
That's unlikely, they are getting more and more successful with each album.
MusicStan_1997
Thanks. You're so lucky, I wanted to see her in Manchester but I didn't manage to get tickets, I'm gutted, I'm hoping she might do more dates. I agree, they are talented and amazing, they don't deserve to fizzle away.
A
Alexander
extra date added in london feb 1st presale on now. love little mix. going to see them 5 times next year. new album is amazing. bonus dvd live concert is beyond brillant. went to the get weird tour seven times.
MusicStan_1997
I'm in Manchester, I can't get to London for those dates. She said on twitter that there's more to come so hopefully she will announce more dates soon so I can get tickets. Lucky, I wish I could see them that many times on the Glory Days Tour. I couldn't get tickets to any of the dates until Thursday, I was so happy they announced more dates and I managed to get amazing seats on Thursday to their new Manchester show. I saw them once on the Get Weird Tour and once on the DNA Tour, I would have loved to have seen the Salute Tour.
A
Alexander
salute the tour as with the lp was awesome. hope jojo does more dates. if they are selling as well the dates in jan she should.
Alfred Lock
even i thought the legend that is Kate Bush would do it but in the end the young generation of today are the winners as far as albums go so fair do to the mix girls for holding off some formidable competition
Piran
Well I was expecting Kate Bush to be #1 considering she was leading the mid-week update.
Congratulations to Little Mix though! 'Glory Days' is already one of my favourite albums of 2016 & I'm very pleased for all the success the group have had on the UK Charts, especially this year.
Sunshine Gal
hey mate!! so, this isn't the official article for the albums' chart?
Piran
Well this just announces the Top 10, along with some gains & debuts in the Top 40. The rest of the Top 100 should be posted shortly. :)
In other news, Clean Bandit's 'Rockabye' just got a fourth consecutive week at #1 on the singles chart.
Sunshine Gal
well you should be happy about clean bandit right? :D and then the singles' article should be up momentarily too? i'm grabbing a quick bite in between articles ;). did brocolli and juju do well over here? :D
Piran
Yeah, 'Rockabye' is my favourite song at the moment. 'Rockabye' now matches 'Rather Be' as their longest UK #1 single. :)
Well I only remember seeing 'Broccoli' in the 90-100 range & 'Juju' peaked at #37 (just dropped out of the Top 40), so not really!
Sunshine Gal
well all that's good ;)...did clean bandit do anything on the hot 100 chart?
Piran
Yeah, 'Rather Be' reached the Top 10 (I believe it peaked at #10) on the Hot 100 back in 2014. It was the second biggest song of that year in the UK though! :)
'Rockabye' is climbing up the Bubbling Under charts fast at the moment, so I think that will also enter the actual Hot 100 before the end of the year.
Sunshine Gal
well that's good, ok mate, i'll be on the uk article for the next few min. putting up my throwbacsks ;) i think you'll like the act i picked :D
Techfan
Hey Piran! I'm kind of disappointed myself, although not as much since it's a live album, isn't it? Probably surprised that Starboy was only #5. At least, got another week at #1. :)
Piran
Yeah, 'Before The Dawn' is a live album. I was also surprised about how low 'Starboy' debuted this week, but The Weeknd did get six songs from it in the UK Top 40 this week. According to HDD, it looks like the album is going to enter the BB200 on Sunday with 300k+ copies in total which is awesome! :)
#1 KPOP STAN
The UK gets four Queens instead of one.
