Update: THE KILLERS Trump GUNS N' ROSES For UK #1
December 1, 2008, 15 years ago
Billboard has issued the following report from London's Paul Sexton:
In an all-new top three on the UK album chart, THE KILLERS' Day & Age (Vertigo/Universal) took the #1 spot ahead of GUNS N' ROSES' Chinese Democracy (Black Frog/Geffen), while TAKE THAT scored its 11th UK career #1 single with 'Greatest Day' (Polydor/Universal).
The Killers thus complete a perfect trio of studio albums: Hot Fuss was released in June 2004 and spent two weeks at the summit the following January, while Sam's Town spent three weeks at the top in October 2006. Welsh-born 2007 X Factor runner-up RHYDIAN arrived at #3 with a self-titled debut set for Syco Music/Sony BMG.
