Industry figures hail ‘the future of music’ as rock band announce first album of its kind to qualify for official UK charts
release their ninth studio album, Will of the People, on 26 August, the NFT edition will become the first release of its kind to qualify for the charts in the UK and Australia. It is the first new format to be added to the charts since album streams in 2015.
The UK’s Official Charts Company made NFT albums eligible for the charts several months ago but this is the first release where the vendor, in this case Serenade, is approved as a chart-return digital retailer. In April, UK indie rock band the Amazons released a digital box set NFT, limited to 100 copies, that came with pre-orders of their How Will I Know if Heaven Will Find Me? album, due in September. That was sold as part of a bundle rather than as a standalone release.Serenade had been in discussions with Warner Records, home to Muse, about releasing an NFT album for several months.
