David Gilmour’s New Album at Number One in the UK

David Gilmour’s fifth solo album Luck and Strange has had a bit of, er… well, luck in getting to number one in the UK album charts! This is his first UK number one album in nine years

David Gilmour said, “Heartfelt thanks to all of you who’ve supported Luck and Strange. I feel very honoured to have another Number One album, and it’s great to see from all of the comments and messages that you’re enjoying listening to the record as much as we enjoyed making it.“

As a member of Pink Floyd, Gilmour boasts a further six number one albums in Atom Heart Mother (1970), Wish You Were Here (1975), The Final Cut (1983), The Division Bell (1994), Pulse (1995) and The Endless River (2014).

Gilmour’s album was trailed by Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, which enjoyed its third consecutive week in the top five at number two, the Official Charts Company has confirmed. No… I haven’t heard of her either.
