This marks US rock legends Aerosmith’s first UK Number 1 LP, 38 years after their debut, and a fourth chart-topping accolade in YUNGBLUD’s arsenal. It is also the Brit’s second Number 1 of 2025, after Idols debut at the summit in June.
Celebrating the feat, YUNGBLUD exclusively tells Official Charts: “No words can express how grateful I am for this… my second Official Number 1 of 2025. Massive love to everyone who supported this record in the name of rock and roll!
“Aerosmith has been part of the soundtrack to my life. Thank you to Joe and Steven for riding with me – I can’t believe we made a record together!
“This is the cherry on top of a f*cking crazy, emotional rollercoaster of a year. Bring on 2026! Love.”
It’s the latest achievement in what’s proven to be a phenomenal year for YUNGBLUD, seeing him as the only British artist ever to receive three GRAMMY nominations in the Rock categories, drawing level with Bruce Springsteen, U2 and Foo Fighters.
One More Time also tops the Official Vinyl Albums Chart and the Official Record Store Chart, shifting more copies than any other album on wax over the past seven days, as well as being named the most popular album in UK independent record shops.
