    Congratulations to Ward Thomas for being the first country act to have a UK number one album!

    Catherine and Lizzy said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be number one in the album chart. A huge thank you to everyone who has bought it and for all the support that has helped us get there. We are incredibly excited and proud to be part of this first for country music. Today is a dream come true!”
