The former Oasis star shifted over 55,000 copies of his debut solo record ‘As You Were’ in just one day.
His nearest competitor is The Darkness, who are currently sitting in second place with 4,000 sales.
Liamโs numbers include a huge 40,000 from people who pre-ordered the critically acclaimed record.
It will be the rockerโs first studio album chart-topper since Oasisโ seventh and final record, Dig Out Your Soul, hit the top spot back in 2008.
His two offerings with post-Oasis break-up band, Beady Eye, reached No.2 and No.3.
My music insider said: โLiamโs first solo album has already been a huge hit with critics and now itโs proving a hit with fans too.โ
Last month I exclusively revealed how Liam said he would retire if his solo album didnโt sell well.
But thereโs no need for him to hang up his mac and mic just yet!
Much to the relief of his fans and to the annoyance of his older brother Noel.
Insiders also predict that Liam could go on to sell over 100,000 copies by Fridayโs chart countdown.
Although the number is huge in todayโs music industry, the total is still well down the all-time chart for first week sales.
Adele holds the record with 803,000 for 25, followed by Oasis Be Here Now 695,761 and Ed Sheeranโs รท with 672,000.
Now itโs over to Noel to see what he can do with his band High Flying Birds, who release their third album next month.
