Keane Top UK Album Charts

Keane's critically acclaimed third album, Perfect Symmetry, has gone straight into the UK album charts at number one.

The trio knocked Oasis off the top of the chart yesterday evening, and achieved their third number one album in a row.

The band released the following statement on their site:

"We're completely over-the-moon that Perfect Symmetry has gone to Number One.

"The last couple of years have been quite an adventure, and to end up with a third album that we're all fiercely proud of, and that has been a total joy to make, is a great feeling. To see that album now sitting at the top of the charts is really amazing and the best thing we could possibly have wished for.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your passionate and unwavering support over the years. It means a huge amount to us.

Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Tim, Tom and Richard"

The new single, The Lovers Are Losing is out now through Island Records. The band tour the UK throughout January and February. For all tour information, please visit Keanemusic.com
