Tennessee rockers Paramore score their first number one album on the UK Charts this week, as their sophomore set Brand New Eyes debuted at the top.
Their first album Riot! was certified gold in the UK for sales of over 100,000, while the band topped a million here in the USA and earned a platinum record.
This week Paramore will be battling Mariah Carey for the #1 spot on the Billboard 200, as both albums are expected to sell more than 150,000 each.
I'm kind of hoping Paramore will be the underdog upset, and beat Carey. Mariah's last album sold over 400,000 copies in its first week, so this album pales in comparison in terms of sales. Plus, Mariah has already had 6 #1 albums, let someone else have some fun for a change!
