Legendary Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has reached a significant career milestone, securing his first solo No. 1 album. Overtaking Fearless (Taylor’s Version) by Taylor Swift, Ringo’s latest release, Look Up, has claimed the top spot on the Official Country Chart in the UK.
Released earlier this month, Look Up has resonated with fans and critics alike, blending Starr’s signature style with Americana and country influences. The album has also claimed top spot of the UK’s Official Americana Chart.
According to the Official Charts Company, this is the first time Starr has landed a solo No. 1 album on any UK chart. While Starr has experienced massive success as part of The Beatles, this achievement underscores his continued relevance as a solo artist.
Fans and music lovers are celebrating the accomplishment across social media, with many noting how Look Up demonstrates Starr’s versatility and timeless appeal. As he continues to tour and create music, this milestone adds yet another layer to the legacy of one of the most beloved figures in rock and roll history.
