PJ Harvey - 'Let England Shake'
Acts featured heavily during last week’s Brit Awards ceremony dominate this week’s UK charts, with Adele’s new album ‘21’ staying on top of the Album chart, just ahead of Mumford & Sons’ ‘Sigh No More’, which climbs 13 places following its British Album award. Other Brits artists such as Plan B, Cee Lo Green and Arcade Fire also receive sales boosts, while PJ Harvey’s new record ‘Let England Shake’ debuts at #7.
The Brits are also in full affect on the UK Singles chart, with Adele’s highly praised performance of ‘Someone Like You’ pushing the track to the summit of this week’s rundown.
