Kasabian is back on top! The Leicester rockers have claimed their seventh Official U.K. No. 1 album with their latest release, Happenings.
The eighth studio album sees Sergio Pizzorno, Chris Edwards, Ian Matthews, and Tim Carter displace Taylor Swift to clinch the chart-topping spot.
Happenings joins an illustrious lineup of previous U.K. No. 1 albums, including Empire (2006), West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum (2009), Velociraptor! (2011), 48:13 (2014), For Crying Out Loud (2017), and The Alchemist’s Euphoria (2022).
Their debut album, Kasabian (2004), peaked at No. 4, while their compilation album Kasabian: The Albums reached No. 22.
Speaking to the U.K. Official Charts, Pizzorno expressed the band’s gratitude: “What’s up, pop pickers? That’s seven U.K. Official No. 1 albums on the spin. Thank you to our fans, the greatest in the world. We’re nothing without you, we absolutely adore you!”
Kasabian also celebrated their achievement with a more colorful remark: “That’s wonderful, f–k yeah! Come on!”
In addition to topping the U.K. Official Albums Chart, Happenings leads the Official Vinyl Albums Chart as the most popular record on vinyl this past week and the U.K. Official Record Store Chart.
Kasabian’s seventh chart-topping album places them in the esteemed company of other music legends such as Blur, Muse, The Prodigy, Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand, Elton John, Cliff Richard, and Ed Sheeran.
Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department drops to No. 2 after spending eight non-consecutive weeks at the top. The album remains the U.K.’s biggest of 2024 so far, having shifted over 542,000 chart units since its release in April.
Chappell Roan breaks into the U.K. top 5 with The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, while Eminem’s Curtain Call: The Hits rises two places to No. 7 following the release of his new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).
Fleetwood Mac’s 50 Years – Don’t Stop climbs four places to No. 8, coinciding with Stevie Nicks’ headlining performance at London’s BST Hyde Park.
Zach Bryan’s The Great American Bar Scene debuts at No. 16, marking a career-best for the Oklahoma country star, while The Killers’ Rebel Diamonds jumps 14 spots to No. 32 as they begin their six-night residency at London’s The O2.
