Debuting at #1, the LP now makes Rita the first Roc Nation act to enjoy two or more #1 singles and a #1 album in the same year.
An achievement, which sits pretty alongside her record for having the most UK #1s this year, surpassing efforts made by Emeli Sande, Rihanna and X Factor UK judge Tulisa.
On her success, she tweeted:
Thank you #ORAisNumberONE

Unstoppable: Rita Ora scores debut Official Number 1 album
By Lauren Kreisler
2012 breakthrough artist Rita Ora continues her fantastic unbroken run of success, as debut album ORA shoots straight to Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart today.
With three Number 1 singles to her name already this year, the accolades just keep coming for Kosovan-born Rita as she can now add a Number 1 debut album to her musical CV!
Full-length debut, ORA, features Number 1 singles Hot Right Now (with DJ Fresh), R.I.P featuring Tinie Tempah, and her most recent chart topper How We Do (Party). Rita drafted in a selection of top flight producers on the album including Will.I.Am, Kanye West, Drake and Stargate, amongst others.
OfficialCharts.com caught up with the London-based singer/songwriter this week, Rita said:
“I worked so hard on this album, and then you let it go and don’t have any control over it. So it’s a bit scary, but I’m excited! I just wanna say thank you to all my amazing fans, and I hope I make you feel good listening to my music!
