Of Monsters And Men and Elbow have enjoyed a strong week of sales on the UK Album Chart, debuting at #3 and #4 respectively with their brand new releases.
Of Monsters And Men are at no.3 thanks to their new record ‘My Head Is An Animal‘, with Elbow’s b-sides collection ‘Dead In The Boot‘ one place back.
Elsewhere, The Black Keys‘ 2011 LP ‘El Camino‘ has climbed one place, while Foo Fighters‘ headline appearance at the Reading/Leeds festival late last month has seen their ‘Greatest Hits‘ retrospective jump back into the Top 20 (#18).
Bloc Party‘s comeback album ‘Four‘, which just failed to provide them with their first UK number one last week despite a concerted effort from the band, has fallen out of the Top 20 on its second week on the chart.
