Comments
Rihanna continues to hang on at the top of the chart, but there are a lot of changes further down. Enrique Iglesias debuts in the top 10 based on digital downloads alone. He may challenge for the top next week. The White Stripes return with a big #13 download-only debut. They should soar into the top 10 next week with physical sales. The Fray are trying for a second big hit in the UK with "Over My Head (Cable Car)," the single that was the first to break them into the mainstream in the US.

It seems like it's been a long path for Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro to reach strong commercial success, but Rihanna stops them from scoring their first #1 album. She opens at the top to capture both the album and singles chart. Indie rock band the Twang open strongly as well with a #3 showing for their first album.
