Early in the week it had looked like Eminem would finally top the chart with "Love the Way You Lie." However, the grime hip hop collective Roll Deep roar to the top with their second #1 this year so far "Green Light." Production duo Chase and Status earn their second top 40 pop hit in the UK with a strong debut at #11. Romanian singer Inna continues to expand her success beyond the borders of her home country with "Amazing" as her second top 20 success.

Legendary metal band Iron Maiden return to the top of the album chart for the first time since 1992. This knocks Eminem from the summit after he logged six weeks at #1. Three years makes a big difference for Hoosiers. Their first album hit #1 in 2007 with two top 10 pop singles. Their follow up only manages to open at #10 and is yet to produce a top 10 hit. After five consecutive top 10 studio releases, singer-songwriter David Gray limps to a #18 opening with Foundling.
