The Last Shadow Puppets scoop second chart-topping album

The Last Shadow Puppets are pulling the strings of the Official Albums Chart this week – they’ve scored their second Number 1 album with latest effort Everything You’ve Come To Expect.

Despite a near-decade long wait for new material from Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner and The Rascals' Miles Kane the duo avoided a sophomore slump, firing straight in at pole position. Plus with the UK preparing for Record Store Day 2016 next weekend, more than 7,000 copies of Everything You’ve Come To Expect were snapped up on vinyl alone this week, outselling the first week vinyl sales of Arctic Monkeys’ AM – a record that has since gone on to become the biggest selling vinyl album of the decade.

Everything You've Come to Expect follows The Last Shadow Puppet’s debut collection The Age of Understatement, which debuted at Number 1 just shy of eight years ago. The new album is Miles' second chart topper, and Alex's seventh consecutive Number 1 studio album counting his with work Arctic Monkeys.

Three new entries land in the Top 5 this week. Lukas Graham's self-titled debut worldwide release enters at Number 2, while Pet Shop Boys' Super debuts at Number 3. The record is Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's twelfth Top 5, and sixteenth Top 10.

Adele's 25 enjoys a nineteenth week in the Top 5, falling two places to Number 4, and rounding out the Top 5 is Kentucky from Black Stone Cherry, the group's second Top 5 release.

Classical singer and TV presenter Aled Jones enters just shy of the Top 5, with One Voice debuting at Number 6. The release is Aled's first Top 10 album in 31 years, after his second studio album Walking in the Air got to Number 5 back in 1985.

Further down the chart, Mogwai's Atomic - OST lands at 20, Weezer's self-titled release enters at 24, Very Rarely Say Die from Sunset Sons settles at 25 and Sasha's Scene Delete is a new addition at 34.

Finally, two more albums also enter the Top 40: The Heavy's Hurt & The Merciless is at 36 and Explosions in the Sky's The Wilderness is at 39.
