Kneecap når andraplatsen med Fenian och skänker vinsten

Svenska

Kneecap har uppnått den högsta brittiska listplaceringen någonsin för ett album på iriska med sitt nya släpp Fenian. Bandet från West Belfast landade på en andraplats och meddelade att de kommer att skänka alla intäkter från försäljningen till välgörenhet.

Albumet, som släpptes den 1 maj som uppföljare till deras debut Fine Art från 2024, innehåller samarbeten med Kae Tempest, Radie Peat och Fawzi. Det överträffade bandets tidigare toppnotering på plats 42 och hindrades endast från förstaplatsen av samlingsalbumet The Essential Michael Jackson.
