“What can I even say to this? I am completely and utterly moved and overwhelmed at this achievement," Sam told Official Charts.
Prior to Emeli, the record was held for almost 50 years by The Beatles’ Please Please Me (62 weeks). The chart record was previously held by Emeli Sande, whose debut Our Version Of Events tallied 66 consecutive weeks in the Top 10 between February 2012 and May 2013. The LP hasn’t left the Top 10 since its release in May 2014, where it debuted at Number 1 with opening week sales of 101,000. This week sees the singer-songwriter’s debut record notch up a record-breaking 67th consecutive week in the Official Albums Chart Top 10 – the longest unbroken run ever for a debut album.
Sam Smith’s chart success shows no signs of slowing, as the soul star’s album In The Lonely Hour enters the Official Charts history books today (September 4).
