It appears all the things Shed Seven touches turns to Liquid Gold, with the rockers scoring their second No. 1 album of 2024 on the U.Ok. Official Album Charts.

Their newest mission, Liquid Gold, follows their first-ever chart-topper A Matter of Time again in January, placing them in some significantly elite firm. They now stand shoulder-to-shoulder with legends like The Beatles, Queen, Elton John, Diana Ross, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and ABBA—artists who’ve managed to land two U.Ok. No. 1 albums in a single 12 months.

“Can’t quite really believe that we’re standing here once again this year, but this is our second No. 1 of 2024, which is absolutely mind-blowing,” Shed Seven advised the Official Charts Company.

“We would like to thank our amazing label, Cooking Vinyl, all our crew, and most of all, all the fans who’ve been getting out there this week and getting behind us. We’re immensely proud, and we can’t wait to get out on tour and celebrate what an amazing year we’ve had.”

“We’d like to dedicate this to our departed loved ones; our four Dads and Max’s Mum. Thank you” 

Just behind Shed Seven, Bring Me The Horizon jumped to No. 2 with POST HUMAN: NeX GEn, due to its bodily launch. The album beforehand peaked at No. 5 again in June and has now marked the group’s fifth Top 10 album.

Meanwhile, North-West London rapper Nines hit No. 4 along with his sixth and last album Quit While You’re Ahead, whereas Ed Sheeran’s +–=÷× (Tour Collection) secured the No. 5 spot, making this Ed’s eighth Top 10 album.

In a giant second for jazz, Ezra Collective broke into the Top 10 for the primary time with Dance, No One’s Watching, debuting at No. 7. The final time jazz had such a giant second within the U.Ok. Top 10 was Chris Kamara’s Here’s To Christmas in 2019. Ezra Collective beforehand earned Top 40 success with their Mercury Prize-winning Where I’m Meant To Be in 2022, however this leap to the Top 10 marks a game-changer for the style.

Elsewhere, Manchester’s Pale Waves made waves of their very own with their fourth studio album Smitten, touchdown at No. 13, whereas indie veterans Maximo Park claimed No. 21 with Stream of Life, conserving their streak of Top 40 albums intact.

And in a shock surge, Benson Boone’s Fireworks & Rollerblades shot again into the Top 40, climbing 20 spots to land at No. 37 in what was per week stuffed with chart shakeups and massive wins throughout the board.
