Mumford & Sons' new album, Prizefighter, knocked out the competition to debut at #1 on the U.K.'s Official Albums Chart.

Prizefighter gives the "Little Lion Man" outfit their second #1 in their home country in less than a year, after their last album, Rushmere, also debuted atop the Official Albums Chart after it was released in March 2025.

"Two UK No.1 albums in a year is something we never dreamed of," Mumford & Sons say. "This one means a lot to us, and we can't thank you enough. Keep prizefighting."

Overall, Prizefighter marks Mumford & Sons' fourth #1 across the pond, along with Rushmere, 2012's Babel and 2015's Wilder Mind.

Mumford & Sons can celebrate their latest chart achievement with their performance on Saturday Night Live on Saturday. They'll launch a North American tour in June.
