Elton John’s The Lockdown Sessions storms to Number 1 on Official Albums Chart: "I am so proud of what we have created"

Congratulations to Elton John, whose new album The Lockdown Sessions lands straight in at Number 1 on the Official UK Albums Chart.

The Lockdown Sessions opens at the summit with 31,000 chart sales, 84% of which were physical (CD and vinyl) sales. It marks Elton’s second Number 1 in less than a month – two weeks ago his single Cold Heart (Pnau Remix) with Dua Lipa hit Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.

The collection - which includes collaborations with Stevie Wonder, Lil Nas X, Stevie Nicks and Charlie Puth – earns Elton his eighth Number 1 album and first in nine years. View Elton John’s Official UK Chart history here.

Celebrating the news, Elton told OfficialCharts.com: "When I started collaborating with some of my favourite artists at the start of the pandemic, I couldn’t have dreamt in my wildest dreams it would lead to a Number 1 album.

"I am so proud of what we have created and thrilled that it has connected with our fans to such a degree. It shows the spirit of collaboration and togetherness that can still happen in the most trying circumstances. Thank you so much. Elton x"

Continuing Elton’s incredible run of success, his greatest hits album Diamonds holds inside the Top 20 at Number 18 – its 207^th week in the Top 100

Lockdown Sessions enters the top10 in Us

from Billboard:
Rounding out the Billboard 200's top 10, Elton John lands his 21st top 10 album, as his all-star, all-collaborative release The Lockdown Sessions debuts at No. 10 with 29,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 17,000; SEA units total 10,000 (equaling 13.1 million on-demand streams of the album's songs); and TEA units account for 2,000.

Lockdown includes John's latest top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hit, "Cold Heart" (Pnau Remix), with Dua Lipa, as well as collaborations with a variety of artists, including Young Thug and Nicki Minaj ("Always Love You"), Charlie Puth ("After All"), Eddie Vedder ("E-Ticket"), Stevie Wonder ("Finish Line") and Stevie Nicks ("Stolen Car").

John notched his first Billboard 200 top 10 over 50 years ago, when his self-titled album climbed 11-7 on the Jan. 30, 1971-dated chart; it peaked at No. 4 a week later (Feb. 6, 1971). (Breaking down his 21 top 10s by decade: 13 in the '70s, two in the '90s, one in the '00s, four in the '10s and now one in the '20s.)

John is in the select group of acts with at least 20 top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, from March 24, 1956, when the list began publishing on a regular, weekly basis, through the new, Nov. 6, 2021, survey. Here's an updated leaderboard.
