Muse have officially flown straight to the top of the UK album charts with their 7th album Drones.
Florence's How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful was unceremoniously shunted off to the top spot after just one week at the top of the charts.
The album, full of rock anthems like singles 'Mercy' and 'Dead Inside' sold 73,000 copies in the past week, according to information supplied by the Official Charts Company.
This makes another bestseller for Muse, having preciously enjoyed success with 2012's The 2nd Law, 2009's The Resistance, 2006's Black Holes And Revelations and 2003's Absolution.
Muse are fresh from controversially headlining this weekend's Download Festival, where they amazed the crowd with performances from Drones. They showcased their other epic heavier songs, as well as fan favourites and rarer performances from across their back catalogue, proving their rock credentials with confidence.
