Emeli Sandé claims the UK No. 1 album spot

Emeli Sandé's debut album, 'Our Version Of Events' has entered The Official UK Top 40 Albums Chart straight in at No.1.

Sandé was told about her achievement by BBC Radio 1's Reggie Yates when she called him from Milan, Italy earlier today (February 19). She reacted by screaming: "Wow! Wow! Wow!! Thank you!!".

Sandé told Yates: "People have connected to the music so well. Helping them through stuff which is the best feeling you can have as an artist."

Her single, 'Next To You' also entered The Official UK Top 40 Singles Chart at No.2.

Her entire family will be accompanying the singer to this week's BRIT Awards, and she told Yates, that her "hot date" will be her dad.  

The 'Read All About It' singer then said a "massive thank you" to everyone that bought her album "for literally making a dream come true."

Elsewhere in the albums chart, Adele's '21' went up to No.3, and Lana Del Rey's 'Born To Die' slipped down to No.2.
