Bastille have topped the official albums chart for the second time in their careers with new album, Wild World.

The London four piece’s second studio album debuts straight in at no. 1 with combined sales of 36k.

Speaking about their chart success, the band told OfficialCharts.com: “This feels very surreal. Obviously it’s amazing! This album has been a real labour of love for us… making it has been the one constant through all the madness of the last couple of years.”

They beat off competition from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds who are in at no. 2 in the official album chart with Skeleton Tree.

Over in the singles chart, The Chainsmokers are still in the top spot with ‘Closer (Ft. Halsey)’, meaning DJ Snake and Justin Bieber are in at no. 2 with ‘Let Me Love You’.

So, what would you little maniacs like to do first?

Watching through my fingers
Watching through my fingers

Shut my eyes and count to ten
It goes in one ear out the other,
One ear out the other
Burning bright right till the end
Now you'll be missing from the photographs,
Missing from the photographs

Watching through my fingers
Watching through my fingers

In my thoughts you're far away
And you are whistling the melody,
Whistling the melody
Crystallizing clear as day
Oh I can picture you so easily,
Picture you so easily

What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it?
What's gonna be left of the world, oh

Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
Every stumble and each misfire
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

Watching through my fingers
Watching through my fingers

Caught off guard by your favourite song
Will I be dancing at a funeral?
Dancing at a funeral
Sleeping in the clothes you love
It's such a shame we have to see them burn,
Shame we have to see them burn

What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it?
What's gonna be left of the world, oh

Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
Every stumble and each misfire
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

If you want to be a party animal,
You have to learn to live in the jungle
Now stop worrying and go get dressed

You might have to excuse me
I've lost control of all my senses
And you might have to excuse me
I've lost control of all my words
So get drunk, call me a fool
Put me in my place, put me in my place
Pick me up, up off the floor
Put me in my place, put me in my place

Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
Every stumble and each misfire
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

Watching through my fingers
Watching through my fingers
Cause every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

Also in the top 5 is another Bieber hit but this time with Major Lazer and MØ on ‘Cold Water’. Following them at no. 4 is Calum Scott with his beautiful cover of Robyn’s ‘Dancing On My Own’.

Rounding off the top five is Sia with her brand new single ‘The Greatest (ft. Kendrick Lamar).
