The band previously landed the top spot at the beginning of this year with their sixth studio album ‘A Matter Of Time.’ Its members include Rick Witter, Paul Banks, Tom Gladwin, Tim Wills, and Rob Maxfield.
Shed Seven made history as the British rock band with the longest gap between their first LP and first Number One album with 26 years and three months in between.
It only took them 10 months to claim their second top spot on the charts, putting them in the same company as the likes of The Beatles, Elton John, Diana Ross, Queen, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and ABBA, who have also managed two or more Number One albums in a year.
“Liquid Gold” served as a special album created as a tribute to the band’s expansive 30-year career and sees them reimagine iconic tracks and fan favorites from their discography. It also features a new track titled ‘All Roads Lead To You’.
The band shared about earning the Number One spot in a statement to Official Charts:
“Can’t quite really believe that we’re standing here once again this year, but this is our second Number One of 2024, which is absolutely mind-blowing. We would like to thank our amazing label, Cooking Vinyl, all our crew, and most of all, all the fans who’ve been getting out there this week and getting behind us.
We’re immensely proud, and we can’t wait to get out on tour and celebrate what an amazing year we’ve had. We’d like to dedicate this to our departed loved ones; our four Dads and Max’s Mum. Thank you.”
