On Tuesday 3rd February the Official Charts Company revealed the Top 40 best-selling and most streamed folk albums released in the January reporting period in the UK by UK and Irish artists in the Official Folk Albums Chart, produced by English Folk Expo. The chart is first announced to the public on Tuesday 3rd February at 7pm GMT as part of the Official Folk Albums Chart Show presented by Folk on Foot via their YouTube channel.
Two new releases have entered the January chart.
Nathan Evans & The Saint PHNX Band’s debut collaborative album, Angels’ Share (Universal), claims the No. 1 spot this month. Speaking to BBC News, Stevie Jukes (Saint PHNX) said the record is the result of 18 months of “touring, drinking whisky, becoming fathers and being best friends. We’ve been writing together for years, but Heather on the Hill was the moment everything shifted. It made me realize how powerful embracing our Scottish identity could be.
Coming in at No. 38 is Eliza Marshall’s debut solo album, Eternal Birth (One World). The award-winning flautist and composer channels over two decades of international collaboration into a bold, genre-defying record that celebrates life’s cycles and continuity from conception to death, through nature, ancestry and renewal.
