Linkin Park Conquers UK Album Chart’s Top Spot


The band held off a stiff competition from Maroon 5's 'Overexposed' to take the UK Album Chart Number One and triumphed over Justin Bieber, who dropped to No.4 with 'Believe', according to the Official Charts Company



'Living Things', Linkin Park’s 5th studio album had made the Los Angeles-based band their 6th Top 10 album and 3rd in UK Number One charts. They sold out 'Overexposed' by 3,000 copies, with Maroon 5 having to settle for Number Two. Ed Sheeran's '+' jumped four places to return to the Top 5 at Number Three, while Emeli Sande's 'Over Version of Events' dropped a spot to Number Five. Elsewhere in the UK Albums Chart, Flo Rida’s 'Wild Ones' is new in at Number 8 and Jay-Z and Kanye West's 'Watch the Throne' collaboration has jumped 13 places to re-enter the Top 10 at Number 7.



Meanwhile, The Stone Roses are this week's highest climbers as their 'Very Best Of' compilation jumps an incredible 17 places to Number 21. 'This Is Love' is co-produced by Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello, and is the follow-up to Will.I.Am's previously highest-charting Number 3 solo hit 'T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)' featuring Mick Jagger and Jennifer Lopez, which was released earlier this year. Both tracks are taken from his upcoming solo record '#willpower'. 


Maroon 5's 'Payphone' drops one place to Number Two, while Chris Brown's 'Don't Wake Me Up' is new in at Number Three. Flo Rida's 'Whistle' and Cheryl's 'Call My Name' are at No.4 and 5 respectively. Linkin Park’s “Living Things” is now available in all local retail stores.
