Comments

It is a relatively slow week on the chart with nothing new of note. This means that Matt Cardle holds on to the #1 spot for a third week matching the success of Alexandra Burke after she won X Factor two years ago.

Comments

A very slow post-Christmas album sales week allows older but steadily selling collections by Plan B, Tinie Tempah, and Wanted to re-enter the top 5 this week. At the top, Rihanna earns her second #1 album in the UK matching the success of Good Girl Gone Bad.
