Enter Shikari On Course For Number One With New Album

Enter Shikari have landed the Number One slot after the release of their 3rd studio album "A Flash Flood Of Colour".

Following up albums "Take to the Skies" and "Common Dreads" hitting 4 and 16 respectively, this is a first for the band.

The release of the new album (January 16) should give fans plenty of time to keep them on top until the Official Chart is revealed on Sunday.

To coincide with the album's launch Enter Shikari have announced details of a UK tour, which is set to take place in March.

The band will perform a total of six dates, starting at Edinburgh's Corn Exchange on March 17.

Dates are also scheduled to take place in Hull (March 18), Wolverhampton (20) and Plymouth (22), before the tour concludes at the Hammersmith Apollo in London on March 23.

Thanks for the report to Gigwise.com.

I can't stop listening to it. Very well done.

That a self-released album could be a number one is a brilliant achievement.

I love this band, but number one on what chart? I have a hard time believing I'm going to see Enter Shikari at the top of the Billboard 200.

Such a great band! One of the best and most unique bands around right now. Really happy that the album is selling well, it's too bad that they arn't topping the U.S. charts.

The fact that something like this would top this charts is both surprising and unsurprising at the same time.

It's surprising in the fact that people actually like stuff like this.
It's unsurprising in the fact that the charts are practically filled with garbage, and this incorporates so many different aspects of all of that specified garbage.

It's like indie/dubstep/rap/nu-metal/electronic/pseudo-hardcore/techno /'post-*something*rock'.

I'm using all of those terms loosely.
