American rock band Paramore have leapt straight in at number one on the official UK albums chart with their third release, Brand New Eyes.
The Tennessee five-piece, who have also released All We Know Is Falling (2005) and Riot! (2007) in the UK, achieved their first ever UK number one album, with the LP also yielding number 14 single Ignorance last month.
Newton Faulkner's Rebuilt By Humans is another new entry at number three, while Barbara Streisand's Love Is The Answer debuts at number four with former Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown entering at number eight with My Way.
In the singles chart Taio Cruz stays at number one for a third week with Break Your Heart - equaling the other three-week runs at number one in 2009 by Tinchy Stryder featuring N-Dubz with the aptly named single Number One in May and Lady Gaga's Poker Face in March and Just Dance in January.
Only Lily Allen's single The Fear in February has had a longer run at the top of the chart this year, with four consecutive weeks.
