The Killers Score Record Breaking Fifth UK Number 1 Album
There's no stopping the 'Human' hitmakers...
It's over 14 years since The Killers released their debut single 'Mr. Brightside' but they are still killing it. Not only have their new singles 'The Man' and 'Run for Cover' received rave reviews but the 'Spaceman' group are still capable of topping the charts.
The American rock band's latest album Wonderful Wonderful is this week's UK Number 1 album.
Are your excuses any better than your senator's?
He held a conference and his wife was standing by his side
He did her dirty but no-one died
I saw Sonny Liston on the street last night
Black-fisted and strong singing "Redemption Song"
He motioned me to the sky
I heard Heaven and thunder cry
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
What are you waiting for, a kiss or an apology?
You think by now you'd have an A in toxicology
It's hard to pack the car when all you do is shame us
It's even harder when the dirtbag's famous
I saw my mother on the street last night
All pretty and strong, singing "The Road Is Long"
I said, "Momma, I know you've tried"
But she fell on her knees and cried
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
I know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
And there was nothing she wouldn't give
Just to trust him with her nightmares, with her dreams
She's running, she's running
Just to trust him
He got a big smile, he's fake news
Just run for cover, you've got nothing left to lose
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
(Run)
(Run)
Run for cover

In doing so it earns the 'Somebody Told Me' stars another huge record. The Killers are now the only international act to have five of their albums top the UK albums chart in a row. On top of that the Killers have never had an album not be Number 1.
Below the Killers this week are the Foo Fighters with Concrete and Gold at Number 2 and Ed Sheeran with ÷ at Number 3.
Meanwhile, over on the singles chart, Sam Smith holds onto his Number 1 with 'Too Good at Goodbyes'.
Elsewhere Post Malone rises to Number 2 with 'Rockstar', Dua Lipa falls to Number 3 with 'New Rules', Camila Cabello scores her first UK Top 5 single with 'Havana' and Little Mix and CNCO make a return to the Top 5 with 'Reggaeton Lento (Remix)'.
Further down on the chart, Stefflon Don and French Montana leap a massive six places to Number 14, Maroon 5 and SZA rise to Number 18 with their duet 'What Lovers Do' and Cardi B scores her first UK Top 40 hit with 'Bodak Yellow' at Number 37.
Welcome to the UK charts Cardi! We're so happy for you and all of the other acts in the Top 40 today!
