There's something pretty special about seeing an album reach Number 1 in the UK charts, and over the years we've been lucky enough to play a part in quite a few of those moments. Of course, it's not all about Number Ones. We love championing emerging artists, and making records for people we just think are f*cking cool, but we'd be lying if we said working on a chart-topper didn't feel pretty good.
This week, Jamie T added another to the list, taking Ghosts (100 Days of Morning) straight to Number 1. We released an exclusive pressing on mustard yellow, milky clear and black Venn-effect vinyl (limited to 2,000 copies), and you can still grab a copy here. Chase & Status followed closely behind at Number 2 with Generic Everything, which we also produced an exclusive (sold out) pressing for.
It's been a good year for chart-toppers at Blood Records. Paul McCartney's The Boys of Dungeon Lane, Muse's The WOW! Signal and Kasabian's ACT III all reached Number 1, alongside The Rolling Stones' Foreign Tongues, which we released on baby pink and red smash-effect double vinyl, limited to 7,500 hand-numbered copies - with a limited amount still available here.
The previous year wasn't too shabby either, with our releases from Ed Sheeran, Chappell Roan, Sam Fender and Olivia Dean all contributing to Number 1 albums... and that's just on Blood. Over at Bad World we've also been part of chart-topping campaigns from Charli xcx, Noah Kahan and Gorillaz among others.
Of course, the real credit belongs to the artists, their teams and you - the fans buying, sharing and collecting the music. It's your support that makes these moments possible, and we're just glad to play a small part. Here's to the next Number One!
