Paolo Nutini's second album Sunny Side Up has topped the UK album chart for the third time since its release, the Official Charts Company has confirmed.
The Scottish singer-songwriter's second LP debuted at number one after its June 2009 release and has never dropped out of the top 40 in the past 35 weeks.
Nutini's album hit the top spot again in the last week of 2009 and the first week of this year, and returns to the summit having been relegated to number two by Florence and the Machine's Lungs for a fortnight.
"It's a great example of an enduring album, which sustains its popularity long after the initial promotion around its release," said Martin Talbot, managing director of the Official Charts Company on Sunday.
In the official singles chart, Owl City's Fireflies retained the number one spot for a second week to hold the cast of Glee's climbing version of Don't Stop Believin' at number two.
The original Journey rendition of the song fell a place to number eight while two new entries in the top ten came from Alicia Keys and Jay-Z featuring Mr Hudson.
