The singer spoke favourably of the album, which went in at number one on the UK album chart on Sunday (August 8), in a post on her Twitter feed.

Referring to the album's title track, Williams wrote: “Arcade Fire 'The Suburbs' has my new favourite chorus.”

The chorus features the line: “Sometimes I can't believe it, I'm movin' past the feeling. Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling again.”

Meanwhile, Arcade Fire have announced details of their first full UK arena tour.

The Montreal-based band will play five dates, starting at London's O2 Arena on December 1 and concluding at the SECC in Glasgow on December 12.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (August 13) at 9am.
