Imagine Dragons Bag Their First UK No 1 Album
As Ellie Goulding reigns at the top of the singles chart for a third consecutive week….
Imagine Dragons have claimed the No 1 spot of the Official UK Albums Chart with their second studio album Smoke + Mirrors.
It's the band's first No 1 LP in the UK, surpassing their debut effort, Night Visions, which peaked at No 2 in 2013.
But then comes the curses of diamonds and rings
Only at first did it have its appeal
But now you can't tell the false from the real
Who can you trust? (Who can you trust?)
When everything, everything, everything
You touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything, everything
You touch turns to gold, gold
Ooh, gold, ooh, gold, ooh, gold, ooh, gold
Statues and empires are all at your hands
Water to wine, and the finest of sands
When all that you have is turning stale and it's cold
Oh, you no longer feel when your heart's turned to gold
Who can you trust? (Who can you trust?)
When everything, everything, everything
You touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything, everything
You touch turns to gold, gold
Ooh, gold, ooh, gold, ooh, gold, ooh, gold
I'm dying to feel again (Again)
Oh, anything at all (Oh, anything at all)
But oh, I feel nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing!
When everything, everything, everything
You touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything, everything
You touch turns to gold, gold
Ooh, gold, ooh, gold, ooh, gold, ooh, gold
Sam Smith fell one place to No 2 with his million-selling In The Lonely Hour, and Ed Sheeran’s X similarly dropped down one spot to No 3.
Drake's surprise release, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, also fell one place to No 4 as Texas take the No 5 spot with their celebratory record, Texas 25.
Meanwhile over in the Official UK Singles Chart, Ellie Goulding makes it a third week at No 1 with Love Me Like You Do.
Hozier’s Take Me To Church is another non-mover at No 2, and Mark Ronson also stays put at No 3 with his former chart-topper Uptown Funk (ft. Bruno Mars).
The Weeknd soared up six places to No 4 with the Fifty Shades Of Grey track, Earned It, while Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney round out the top five with FourFiveSeconds.
