Bring Me The Horizon Scores Their First UK No 1 Album: "It Means A Lot To Us"

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Congratulations to Bring Me The Horizon, who land their first Number 1 on the UK Albums Chart with amo.
The band's sixth album, named after the Portuguese word for 'I love', enters at the top with 27,000 combined sales. 61% of its sales this week are physical CD or vinyl purchases. Celebrating the news, the band told:
"Thank you to everyone in the UK for getting our new album amo to Number 1. Thanks for buying it and streaming it and showing us support - it really means a lot to us. Thank you very much, we love you."

The Sheffield band have bettered their chart debut with each release: their first album in 2006 Count Your Blessings peaked at Number 93, while their last record, 2015's That's The Spirit, reached Number 2.

Three of the album's tracks also feature in this week's UK Singles Chart Top 100: Medicine at 48, Mother Tongue at 68 and Nihilist Blues at 77.
