According to the midweek charts, Canadian indie giants Arcade Fire look set to notch up their first UK Number One album.
Arcade Fire’s third studio album ‘The Suburbs’, which was released August 2nd, has already beaten the midweek sales figures for reigning Number One album ‘Recovery’ by rapper Eminem.
Arcade Fire are yet to score a Number One. Their 2004 debut album ‘Funeral’ hit Number Thirty-three and their more recent 2007 offering ‘Neon Bible’ just missing out at Number Two in the charts. However, with their new album being hotly anticipated by fans, as well as being warmly received by critics, it looks as though the group are set for celebrating their first Number One on the UK chart when the weekly chart countdown is announced on Sunday.
Arcade Fire recently showcased some of their new tracks during their headline performance at the Osheaga festival in Montreal last weekend. The band plays at New York’s Madison Square Gardens on August 5th where fans unable to reach the Big Apple can watch the show through a live stream on Arcade Fire’s official website.
Never a band to do things by half, Arcade Fire has recruited director, writer, actor and Monty Python funny man Terry Gilliam to boss the project. So expect a little more than a point-and-shoot broadcast! More details about the live stream can be found at Arcade Fire’s official website.
