London quartet, Bastille commit a rare feat by appearing this week in both the UK Albums and Singles charts.
Releasing their debut Bad Blood last Monday, the group fronted by singer-songwriter Dan Smith (pictured above) reached the top spot on their first time of asking.
This follows their single ‘Pompei’ entering the Singles chart at #2, dropping yesterday just one place to third.
This week’s number one single is once again ‘Mirrors’ by Justin Timberlake, while Emeli Sande remains in the albums chart for the 56th week at second spot.
