The Enemy have topped the UK Album Charts with their debut album ‘We’ll Live And Die In These Towns.’

The Coventry band – who only formed at the beginning of 2006 – sold 150,000 copies of the acclaimed album in the first week.

The trio kept Interpol’s third album, ‘Our Love To Admire,’ off the top spot, with the New York band’s latest LP entering at number two.

‘Zeitgeist’ – the Smashing Pumpkins’ first album in since the turn of the century – entered the charts at number four.

Meanwhile in the singles charts, Rhianna maintained her stranglehold on the top spot with her single, ‘Umbrella’ – which has now topped the top 40 for nine weeks.

Elsewhere in the singles top 10, Arctic Monkeys latest single, ‘Fluorescent Adolescent,’ entered at number five, while My Chemical Romance charted at number nine with the latest single to be taken from their LP ‘The Black Parade’ -‘Teenagers.’

they did not sell 150,000 in their first week, no sir, they may well have shipped that many but they probably sold less than 50,000 of them so far.

The Enemy are absolute class , a real working band that show there is hope for bands that are prepared to work hard rather than rely on PR shite. I love this band and their attitude.

Working hard? Doing what exactly? Promoting their music, I’d suspect. Just because they sound like a Pub-indie band, write songs about jobs being crap and towns being shit(which is hardly hot off the press) and their members act like wideboys, it doesn’t mean they ’work’ any harder than other bands.
