Previously, Paramore topped the Official Albums Chart with Brand New Eyes (2009) and Paramore (2013). This Is Why also tops the Official Vinyl Albums Chart, proving the most-purchased record on wax this week.
Speaking exclusively to OfficialCharts.com, Paramore say: “For this record, which was so inspired and influenced by some of our favourite British bands over the last couple decades, to debut at Number 1 in the UK is so ridiculously cool and surreal. “As if we weren’t already dying to get back over there and play some shows.
Thank you to the fans and friends over there for all your love. Thanks for waiting for us. Be there soon!” Explore Paramore and Hayley Williams’ Official Top 20 biggest songs in the UK here.
