KILLERS MAKE IT 5 NUMBER ONE ALBUMS OUT OF FIVE STUDIO RELEASES

With their fifth studio album "Wonderful Wonderful" taking the top spot on the UK Album chart last week, Las Vegas' finest, the Killers make it a 100% record - all 5 of their studio albums hit Number One - the first non-British band to achieve the feat.

Their albums are listed below:-

Hot Fuss - hit Number One on 22nd January 2005 for 2 weeks
Sam's Town - hit Number One on 14th October 2006 for 3 weeks
Day & Age - hit Number One on 6th December 2008 for 1 week
Battle Born - hit Number One on 29th September 2012 for 1 week
Wonderful Wonderful - hit Number One on 7th October 2017 for 1 week

The only acts ahead of them are Oasis & Coldplay who have had all 7 of their studio albums hit Number 1.  

However, in total Noel Gallagher of Oasis leads the way with all 9 of his albums reaching Number One - 7 with Oasis & 2 with the High Flying Birds.  Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys has 7 out of 7 - 5 with the Arctic Monkeys & 2 with Last Shadow Puppets, while Brandon Flowers of the Killers has also hit Number One with both of his solo releases giving him a perfect 7 out of 7 as well.

So well done to the Killers, and here is their finest moment - the track which has spent 184 weeks in the UK Top 100 - from the "Hot Fuss" album, this is "Mr Brightside".
