Haim have gone straight to Number 1 with their third album, Women in Music Pt. III.

The eponymous LA pop-rock band made up of sisters Este, Danielle and Alana finish the week ahead of the pack by 4,000 chart sales, claiming the most downloads and vinyl of the past seven days, putting them in pole position on the Official Vinyl Chart too.

It’s their second Number 1 collection, with their 2013 debut Days Are Gone also reaching the top spot; follow-up Something to Tell You placed at Number 2 in 2017. See all of Haim's hit songs and albums here.

Celebrating the news, Haim told OfficialCharts.com: “The UK has always supported us and we are forever grateful. We wish we could celebrate with you all but we feel your love all the way here in Los Angeles.”
