Speaking to Official Charts, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said: “Thank you so much for our fifth Official Number 1 record in the UK. We’re so excited about our future, about our album Saviors and just want to thank all the fans everywhere; the most important people to us!
“Fans, friends, family, whatever you want to call it. It’s been an amazing run for us so far, for decades, and we love you all. We’re really, truly grateful for this.”
Saviors also tops this week’s Official Vinyl Albums Chart, with one third of its total sales made up of vinyl purchases, and enjoys a Top 5 debut on the Official Record Store Chart (3); one of the most-purchased physical LPs in the UK’s independent record shops this week.
