Radiohead's 'King Of Limbs' was a new entry at number seven, whilst Britney Spears' 'Femme Fatale' debuted at number eight.

Elsewhere, on the singles chart, Adele's single 'Somebody Like You' slipped to number two on the UK Chart as Jennifer Lopez made her return to music with new single 'On The Floor' featuring Pitbull.

Former Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger's 'Don't Hold Your Breath' is at number five, while Katy B's 'Broken Record' is a new entry at number eight.
