British singer James Blunt has managed to return to the top of the musical rankings in the United Kingdom after a lack of 19 years.

Its newest album, FAirplane Modae, has debuted in the first place of British official ranking, according to data published by Official Charts Company.

The project features 12 songs and represents the 52-year-old artist’s eighth solo album. He was released on Friday, November 13th, in a period when Blunt had become one of the most widely commented names in British media, thanks to participation in the BBC reality show, the Celebrit Traitors.

The singer reached the middle of three show finalists before being eliminated by two other competitors, Sebastian dealt with. Croft and Romes Ranganathan.

Blunt has acknowledged that one of the main reasons why he was led to participate in this television format was to promote his new music more than the goal of winning the game.

Its return to the top of the rankings was accompanied by a promotional campaign with mood notes. The artist had promised that if the album FAirplane Modée would reach first place, he would officially change his name to Ryanair, humorically referring to the air company Ryanair.

The last time James Blunt led the British ranking with an album was in 2007, when the project All the Lost Souls came first.

After confirming the success of the new album, Blunt has thanked fans for his support, expressing gratitude to all those who bought, downloaded or heard the project.

After nearly two decades, the singer has thus managed to return to the top of British music, testifying that there is still a powerful audience after many years on stage. /Telegraphy/
