According to Official Charts, the project sold 28,000 copies in its opening week to claim top spot, including 9,300 in vinyl sales alongside a limited edition release for Record Store Day on June 12.
“Back The Way We Came” is Gallagher's fourth No. 1 with the High Flying Birds, and his 12th when you add in his eight Number 1 albums with Oasis.
“12 number ones!,” shared the rocker on social media. “You guys kill me man. Thanks for coming with me on this incredible musical trip. Big Love.”
With a cardboard cut-out of his pal, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, at his side, Gallagher told Official Charts in a new video: “What? I’m Number 1? Again?! Thanks very much for this, I’m running out of Manc-lepiece space for these things, but it’s an absolute honor. Thank you very much.”
The collection includes two new songs: “We’re On Our Way Now” and “Flying On The Ground”, which were delivered as a pair of companion-themed videos starring actors Matt Smith and Gala Gordon.
