Previous BRITs rising star winner Griff lands at Number 3 with her debut full-length studio album Vertigo, a new personal best following 2021 EP One Foot In Front of The Other which reached Number 4.
The singer, songwriter and musician celebrated as she received an Official Top 10 award from Official Charts to mark the occasion.
Speaking to Official Charts, Griff said: “Anyone who’s listened to my music, followed the journey, it’s been a real rollercoaster, and it means the world that you’ve supported, bought the album, listened to it, streamed it. I love you forever and hopefully will see you on tour so we can sing this album together.”
