Niall Horan scores his first UK Number 1 album

Congratulations to Niall Horan, who is at home in London right now celebrating his new album Heartbreak Weather landing straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart.

Niall’s second album triumphs after an incredibly close week-long battle with Lewis Capaldi’s Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent (2), and The Shires’ new record Good Years (3). In the end, just 2,300 chart sales separated the Top 3.

Heartbreak Weather is Niall’s first UK Number 1 album as a soloist. His debut album Flicker reached Number 3 in 2017.

Celebrating the news, Niall told OfficialCharts.com:“To get to No.1 in the UK is huge for me. I spent 14 months on this album and to have it received like this is just incredible for me. To get a No.1 is so hard to do, so for the people to wrap their ears around my music in the way they have is also incredible.”
