Not bad for a group whose whirlwind journey began just seven months ago when they formed on – yep, you guessed it – December 10 2025.
And there’s little time to let it all sink in. Ahead of two sold-out shows at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, December 10 exclusively sit down with Official Charts to react to their history-making result, look back on seven seriously surreal months and reveal what comes next.

Lads! Congratulations on the result – you must be buzzing?
We’re still in shock, and so grateful to all our incredible fans for getting us here. When you see the artists we’re next to in the chat, it’s mind-blowing!
Did you ever think, this time last year, that you’d have a Top 10 album to your name?
Honestly, no – we wouldn’t allow ourselves to possibly dream it! We’re surrounded by an incredible team and amazing families and support networks. That, combined with our fans? We are genuinely living our dreams. We’ve just been on tour all around Europe and the UK, and we’re heading to Japan for festival and live show – it’s properly mad!
Do you have a message for the Tenners who’ve supported in their droves this week?
We’re so, so grateful for you – we would not be here without you! We feel your love and support every day, and nothing goes unnoticed! This is the biggest moment so far and you guys did that. We truly have the best fans in the world!
How will you be celebrating this weekend?
Wrapping up our headline UK tour with two sold-out Shepherd’s Bush Empires! We used to basically live in Shepherd’s Bush and used to walk past this venue on the way to the tube.
We used to see all the incredible artists names on the board – and now our name is on the board. Wow! We then head to Ireland to wrap up tour, and we’re celebrating John’s 18th birthday on the last night of the tour in Dublin. It’s been a wild few weeks – a month on the tour bus – so we are very, very close and no none of us snore!
No rest for the wicked! Dare we ask what else 2026 has in store?
We are having a week off – it’s going to feel strange not sleeping with 18 other people on the top floor of the bus!
We then go to Sweden for a festival, and Japan – Tokyo and Osaka for Summer Sonic and a headline show in Tokyo. We come back to UK for Reading & Leeds Festival, where some of us were planning to go before we were even booked, and then to LA for a songwriting and recording trip. Literally living the dream!
And finally, Hendrik, how bazzled are you on a scale of one to 10?
10! Absolutely bazzled!
