Jessie Ware has debuted at number five in the UK charts with her album Devotion.
Released just last Monday, the South London singer’s debut made the top ten in its first week on sale.
Ware took to Twitter on hearing the news:
Number 5 in the UK album charts. Thank you so much to everyone who supported and bought Devotion. I am so so so happy! Xxxxxxxxxxx
