Bruce Springsteen scores tenth UK chart-topping album with 'High Hopes'

Bruce Springsteen has achieved his tenth No. 1 UK album with his latest release ‘High Hopes’.

The ‘Born In The USA’ rocker now joins the same league as Robbie Williams, The Rolling Stones, U2 and Elvis Presley who have all also accrued ten chart-topping albums in the UK.

The record holders for most No. 1 UK albums are The Beatles who have topped the UK chart 15 times.

‘High Hopes’ is the follow up to 2012’s ‘Wrecking Ball’ which also debuted at No. 1.

Last week’s No. 1 from Ellie Goulding has now been displaced with ‘Halcyon’ slipping to No. 2.

The rest of the top five is made up by the visual album ‘Beyoncé’ slipping one place to No. 3, Bastille’s ‘Bad Blood’ up one to No. 4 and Gary Barlow’s ‘Since I Saw You Last’ falling two to No. 5.

Other than Springsteen’s ‘High Hopes’ the only other new entry to this week’s album chart comes from Irish singer/songwriter James Vincent McMorrow whose second LP ‘Post Tropical’ has landed at No. 28.
