Ed Sheeran's New Signing Tops UK Album Chart

Jamie Lawson

Jamie Lawson, the first act signed to Ed Sheeran's Gingerbread Man label, has topped the UK album chart with his new record.

Lawson, who released his first album 12 years ago, said it was "amazing" to see his self-titled disc in pole position.

Lawson's record is one of six new entries in the album top 10, with John Newman and Peter Andre also debuting in this week's top five.
Demi Lovato, Essex-based rockers Nothing But Thieves and veteran French musician Jean Michel Jarre make a further trio of newcomers at six, seven and eight respectively.
Sheeran's lucky streak continues with the confirmation that X, a non-mover at two, has now notched up 70 consecutive weeks in the top 10.
