Rend Collective enters UK Album Chart top 30

The Art of Celebration, the new album by Rend Collective, has reached number 28 in the UK Album Chart.

It is the first album by a UK worship band to break into the top 30 since Delirious?

The Art of Celebration is the third full studio album from Rend Collective and has clearly gone down well with fans, taking the top spot on the UK's Official Christian and Gospel Charts.

Its lead single, My Lighthouse, also attracted the attention of Graham Norton who played it on his BBC Radio 2 show.

The album release comes ahead of a brief tour of the UK and Ireland in May.

The band share their heart behind the album in this video:
