Дуучны найм дахь студийн цомог The Celebrity Traitors шоуны дараах олны анхаарлын дунд нээлтээ хийж, чартыг тэргүүлэв.
Official Charts Company-ийн мэдээлснээр, 12 дуутай Airplane Mode цомог баасан гарагт худалдаанд гарч, Жеймс Блантад 19 жилийн дараах анхны нэгдүгээр байрыг авчирсан байна. Тэрээр шоуны финалын гурвалд үлдсэн ч Себастиан “Бэш” Крофт, Ромеш Ранганатан нарын санал хураалтаар хасагджээ. Блант тус шоунд ялахын төлөө бус шинэ уран бүтээлээ сурталчлахын тулд оролцсоноо өмнө нь хэлсэн юм.
Дуучин цомгийг нь худалдан авч, татаж авч, стрим хийсэн хүмүүст талархал илэрхийлжээ. Мөн цомог чартыг тэргүүлбэл нэрээ Ryan Air болгон хууль ёсоор өөрчилнө гэж хошигнон амласан нь сурталчилгааны кампанит ажлын нэг хэсэг байв. Түүний хамгийн сүүлд нэгдүгээрт бичигдсэн цомог нь 2007 оны All The Lost Souls байсан бол 2005 оны Back To Bedlam цомог 10 долоо хоног тэргүүлж байжээ.
Цомгийн чартад Royal Blood-ийн Dead Company хоёрдугаарт, Оливия Родригогийн You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love гуравдугаарт, Скептагийн The Fork And Knife дөрөвдүгээрт бичигджээ. Кингс оф Леоны O My Beloved шилдэг тавыг гүйцээсэн байна.
Синглийн чартыг Жэйми Миллерийн Babydoll дөрөв дэх долоо хоногтоо тэргүүлж, Эшийн Stop The Wedding! удаалжээ. Тэйт МакРэй, Сиенна Спиро, Сомбр нарын синглүүд гурав, дөрөв, тавдугаар байрт орсон бол Оливия Родригогийн Take Me Home (4 Christmas) наймдугаарт дебют хийжээ. Энэ дуу Робби Уильямсын Candy синглтэй төстэй гэх шүүмжлэл дагуулсан ч Уильямс хөгжмийн салбарын плагиатын олон буруутгалыг үндэслэлгүй хэмээн Родригог өмгөөлсөн байна.

Airplane Mode has taken James Blunt back to the top of the UK charts, giving the 52-year-old singer his first number one record in 19 years, according to the Official Charts Company.
The 12-track album, his eighth studio release, came out on Friday amid the hype surrounding his appearance on the BBC reality game show The Celebrity Traitors.
Blunt made it to the final three before being banished by fellow Faithfuls Sebastian “Bash” Croft and Romesh Ranganathan during the nail-biting finale.

He previously admitted he signed up for the show to promote his new music rather than play the game to make it to the end.
The singer told the Official Charts Company: “I can’t tell you how grateful I am to every single person who has gone out there and downloaded, or bought, or streamed my album.


“From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.”
The chart victory follows a light-hearted promotional campaign during which Blunt vowed to legally change his name to Ryan Air if the album topped the charts, as a nod to the budget airline.

His last album to achieve a UK number one was All The Lost Souls in 2007.
The singer’s 2005 release Back To Bedlam spent 10 weeks at the summit.
Elsewhere on the albums chart, Royal Blood sit at two with Dead Company.
Olivia Rodrigo is at three with her chart-topping record You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love.

Ashe is closely behind at two with “Stop The Wedding!”
They are joined by Canadian singer-songwriter Tate McRae, whose single “Housewife” has placed third.
Sienna Spiro is in fourth place with “Great Expectation”.
Completing the top five is US singer-songwriter Sombr with “My Body Isn’t Ready”.
As the Christmas season approaches, Wham! have made their annual return to the Top 40 with “Last Christmas”.
Mariah Carey’s pop favourite “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has soared to number 36.
US singer Rodrigo’s first festive track “Take Me Home (4 Christmas)” has entered the charts at number eight.
The track was inspired by The Waitresses’ 1981 song “Christmas Wrapping”.
It sparked controversy after its release last week, with fans noting similarities to Robbie Williams’ 2012 single “Candy”.
However, the former Take That star defended Rodrigo, saying he thinks a lot of plagiarism accusations in the music industry are “absolute bollocks”.
