Paramore’s new album ‘This Is Why’ reaches number 1 in UK album chart

‘This Is Why’ has debuted at number 1 in both the UK and Australian album charts.

Two decades into their incredible career, their 6th studio album ‘This Is Why’ has stormed the charts debuting at number 1 in both the UK and Australia, their third number 1 in each country. It also received number 1 spots on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, Billboard’s Vinyl Album Chart, Billboard’s Alternative Album chart, Billboard’s Rock Album chart, Billboard’s digital album chart and landed at number 1 in the Billboard top 200.

The album’s title track – released in September – recently earned the band their first number 1 at Alternative Radio and was voted ‘Hottest Record Of The Year‘ by BBC Radio 1 listeners in the UK. Last week they released the video for new single ‘Running Out Of Time.’
