Welsh rock band, Those Damn Crows, is currently riding high on their recent success as they have secured their first UK number one album. The group hails from Bridgend and has soared to the top of the UK Official Albums Chart with their latest release, ‘God Shaped Hole’.
The band members – Shane Greenhall, Ian Thomas, David Winchurch, Lloyd Wood, and Ronnie Huxford – have made history by becoming the first Welsh artists to achieve a UK number one album since Ren back in 2023. They now join the ranks of other iconic Welsh bands like Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers, and Catatonia who have also had number one records.
In the latest charts, Those Damn Crows have taken the top position, while Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Short n’ Sweet’ follows closely at number two. Additionally, Oasis is experiencing a surge in popularity ahead of their upcoming reunion tour later this year, with their compilation album ‘Time Flies’ charting at number three.
Reacting to the incredible news, Those Damn Crows expressed their gratitude in a statement, “Really struggling to put these feelings into words right now, but I know how we’ve achieved this UNBELIEVABLE victory, there’s one word that best describes it…. TOGETHER!!” They further added, “Our dream has turned reality, our band is now permanently etched in music history, and it’s something that cannot be taken from us as we proudly scream from the rafters – Those Damn Crows have a number one album!”
The band’s album, ‘God Shaped Hole’, holds a special place in their hearts. They shared, “We knew it when writing and recording it, and now even more so as you, our fans, have embraced it like no other album we have made before. You have literally thrown it to the top of the charts and there it remained DEFIANT until the powers that be made it official!”
The support and love from their fans have been overwhelming, with the band acknowledging, “Your unwavering love and support mean we won regardless of where the album landed, but hey!…. Make no mistake, we ALL wanted the top spot and TOGETHER we got it! We’re on cloud nine right now, and it’s gonna take some time for our feet to touch the floor.”
Those Damn Crows’ achievement is a testament to their hard work and dedication to their music. With their first number one album under their belt, the band is set to embark on an exciting journey filled with more success and opportunities in the music industry.
As fans await eagerly for what’s next from Those Damn Crows, their groundbreaking achievement will surely be remembered in Welsh music history.
