It pleases me no end to tell you that REM have reclaimed their throne with a number one album in the UK charts this week. Accelerate was supposed to mark a return to REM’s early sound, and the punters have voted with their wallets by going out and buying it.
I’ve chatted to a few people recently about REM, and it seems most lost contact with the band after Monster. However, there’s plenty of buzz surrounding this latest album, and I’m excited to hear some of the songs after hearing a sample on Radio 1’s chart show last night.
Accelerate has knocked Duffy’s Rockferry album off the top spot, so I’m looking forward to see what damage their forthcoming single will do to the singles chart.
