Maisie Peters made quite a splash with her sophomore album The Good Witch, and it was just a matter of time before she hit No. 1. The Good Witch became her first chart-topping album in the UK, and she made history as the youngest British female solo artist to reach No. 1 in almost a decade.

Peters created a lot of buzz for her sophomore LP with singles “Body Better” and “Lost the Breakup” ahead of the album’s release on June 23. With 20,760 units in its first week, The Good Witch easily reached the top of the UK Albums Chart, making the 23-year-old Peters the youngest British female solo artist since Ella Henderson to hit No. 1 on this chart.

Peters spoke exclusively with Official Charts while collecting her award for reaching no. 1 with The Good Witch, and thanked everyone who made it possible to come this far.

“It’s just the craziest and coolest thing! I’m so happy for myself, my fans, and everyone I work with; my band, crew, manager, and label. All of the fans, we’ve been on this journey together for the longest time and this album really felt like an album for all of us,” said Peters.
