When the Foo Fighters took top spot in the region this past week with "But Here We Are", the second place finish for Gallagher ended a 29-year run and Official Chart record for his unbroken streak of all ten previous studio albums - released both as part of Oasis and High Flying Birds - reaching No. 1, the most for any artist.

"Council Skies" does debut atop the Official Vinyl Albums Chart, as well as the Official Record Store Chart, the best-selling album of the past seven days in UK independent record shops.
