The country music star's final record Adios reaches a new peak on this week's Official Album Chart

While Ed Sheeran regains the top spot with ÷, taking second place on the Official Albums Chart this week is late country music star Glen Campbell.

The country icon, who passed away this week, sees his 64th and final studio record Adios reach a new peak of Number 2 today, up 11 places. Recorded after Campbell’s 2011-2012 Farewell Tour following his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, it previously charted at Number 3 upon its release earlier this summer.

As well as reaching new highs on the main Albums Chart, Adios is the best-selling album in Scotland this week, and also takes Number 1 on the UK’s Official Americana Albums Chart, launched last year and compiled weekly by the Official Charts Company in conjunction with the Americana Music Association UK.
