The View celebrate first #1 success in the UK.
The View have gone straight to the top of the UK album chart with their debut LP 'Hats Off To The Buskers'.
The Dundee foursome, who had been tipped all along to claim the Number One spot, finally got it - fending off stiff competition from Damon Albarn's band The Good, The Bad And The Queen, who entered the chart at Number Two with their self titled album.
The chart success rounds off a successful couple of weeks for the band who also went straight into the Top Three last week in the singles chart with 'Same Jeans'.
Lead singer Kyle Falconer told NME.COM: "I can't believe it's gone to Number One, that's absolutely amazing. Its the best feeling in the world because I never expected it to go in that high not even after the single did so well last week."
