Critical acclaim and Mercury prizes have always been forthcoming, but for the first time PJ Harvey has topped the UK Album Chart thanks to her new record ‘The Hope Six Demolition Project‘.
Santana is the only other new entry in the Top 10 this week, with The Last Shadow Puppets‘ ‘Everything You’ve Come To Expect’ – a previous UK chart topper – at #16.
There’s also been time during the first few days since the sudden death of Prince for two of his best of collections to posthumously re-enter the Top 20.
