Rod Stewart has scored his first UK number one album since 1979 with Time.
The LP is Stewart’s first collection of self-penned material in over two decades, and is the first to top the chart since 1979’s Greatest Hits Volume 1. His last studio album to hit number one was 1976’s A Night on the Town.
He told The Official Charts Company: “Well, knock me down with a feather. Just goes to show there’s still plenty of songs left in the old violin. Thank you!”
Gabrielle Aplin lands at two with her debut LP English Rain, finishing 20,000 copies behind Stewart.
