ABOUT MUSE Muse’s latest album ‘Will Of The People’ shot straight to #1 on the UK Official Album Chart, making it the band’s seventh consecutive studio album to top the chart – a run which began back in 2003 with ‘Absolution’. The critically acclaimed ‘Will Of The People’ sold over 50,000 copies in its first week, a figure which means it sold more than the rest of the Top 10 combined. Since forming in 1994, Muse – consisting of Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme – have released nine studio albums, selling over 30 million units worldwide. Prior to ‘Will of the People’ their previous album, ‘Simulation Theory’, debuted at #1 in multiple territories and followed by their 2015 album, ‘Drones’, which went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, the band’s second. |
