Coldplay return to top of albums chart

Rex Features

Coldplay's Viva La Vida has regained its position at the top of the UK albums chart.

The album previously spent five weeks at No.1 before being knocked off by Basshunter's Now You're Gone last week.

Now You're Gone slips to third this week, with Abba's Gold collection climbing to second thanks to the success of the Mamma Mia! movie.

The highest new entry comes from Irish country group the Bachelors, who debut at seven with compilation album I Believe – The Very Best Of.

Meanwhile, Primal Scream score their seventh top ten album with Beautiful Future, which enters the chart at nine.
