George Ezra has topped the album chart with his debut album Wanted On Voyage, 14 weeks after it was first released.
Thanks in part to the inescapable radio hit of 'Budapest' and 'Blame It On Me', the album has slowly climbed the top ten, and this week is spending its 11th week in the top five.
Ezra told OfficialCharts.com: "Thank you so much to everyone that has bought it - I hope you're having as much fun listening to it as I had making it. Keep your pecker up and all the very best."
A fellow chart mainstay, Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour was up one place to No.2 in the album charts while Ed Sheeran's X climbed three places to No.3. Jamie T's acclaimed new album Carry On The Grudge entered the charts at number four.
