George Ezra’s Wanted On Voyage scores fourth week at Number 1

Wanted On Voyage returns to the Official Albums Chart top spot for a fourth time this week.

21-year-old George Ezra’s BRIT Award nominated debut Wanted On Voyage has beaten midweek leader Ed Sheeran’s X to Number 1 by a margin of just 400 copies.

Wanted On Voyage - which features Top 10 singles Budapest and Blame It On Me - first topped the chart back in October, 14 weeks after its original release, and was earlier this month confirmed by the Official Charts Company as the third biggest-selling artist album of 2014.

Fellow BRIT nominee Sam Smith’s In The Lonely Hour is at Number 3 today followed by Taylor Swift’s 1989 (4) and Hozier’s self-titled debut at 5.
