Mumford and Sons to become the biggest UK export since Coldplay

Mumford and Sons look set to become the biggest UK export since Coldplay, recent sales figures have revealed. Figures released today showed their debut album, Sigh No More, has passed the 1 million sales mark in both the UK and the US.


Music Week cites the bands recent appearance at the Grammy Awards as a major factor in the boost in sales, reporting a 99% increase in the US since their performance at the ceremony.


Their performance at the BRIT Awards has had a similar effect on UK sales.


Mumford and Sons tickets are on sale now for a series of intimate shows in Ireland this month. The band will also support Arcade Fire at their Hyde Park show on 30th June.
