Speaking to Official Charts on their achievement, Ball said: “I can’t believe it, our fourth number one album. Alfie Boe, I bloody love you!
“I want to say thank you to everyone who’s worked so hard to make this happen. Most importantly, I want to thank all the fans who’ve gone out and bought it, and have loved it. That’s why we do what we do – we do it for you.
“This is an extraordinary bit of icing on the cake – I couldn’t be happier. It’s incredibly special.”
Boe said he was “thrilled” with landing the top spot, adding: “Thank you to everybody that’s got us here, I couldn’t wish for better.
“I’m going to celebrate with fish and chips after this, I’m pushing the boat out.”
