New album On Sunset continues run of chart-toppers that stretches back to the Jam’s 1982 album The Gift
Paul Weller has joined John Lennon and Paul McCartney as the only artists to top the
UK album chart in five consecutive decades.
Weller said he was “very proud” to see his album On Sunset reach No 1. His previous chart-toppers include one with the Jam (The Gift, 1982) and one with the Style Council (Our Favourite Shop, 1985), plus five solo albums: On Sunset plus Stanley Road (1995), Illumination (2002), 22 Dreams (2008) and Sonik Kicks (2012).
