R.E.M.'s Collapse Into Now Hits the Top 10 of the UK and US Album Charts



R.E.M. gets their tenth Top 10 album in the UK this week, as Collapse Into Now, debuts at #5.  I was actually very surprised to see that the band has seven #1 albums in the UK!  They must have a big following there!  Well, this is actually the first album of the year that I am excited about!  I can't believe Out of Time was already 20 years ago!  I am that old!  Oh well, I will check out this album soon as it's released here.

1991 - Out of Time (#1)
1991 - The Best of R.E.M. (#7)
1992 - Automatic For the People (#1)
1994 - Monster (#1)
1996 - New Adventures in Hi-fi (#1)
1998 - Up (#2)
2001 - Reveal (#1)
2004 - Around the Sun (#1)
2008 - Accelerate (#1)
2011 - Collapse Into Now (#5)

In the US, the same album also debuts at #5.  This is their ninth Top 10 album in the US and also marks the fourth straight decade that they were able to snag a Top 10 album - so they've had a top 10 album in the 80's, 90's, 00's and now the 10's.  Below are their Top 10 albums in the US -

1987 - Document (#10)
1991 - Out of Time (#1)
1992 - Automatic For the People (#2)
1994 - Monster (#1)
1996 - New Adventures in Hi-Fi (#2)
1998 - Up (#3)
2001 - Reveal (#6)
2008 - Accelerate (#2)
2011 - Collapse Into Now (#5)
