Lily Allen's new album has debuted in the top five on the US albums chart.

Last week, the singer "begged" her American fans to buy the album after it emerged that she had a chance of making number one.

However, It's Not Me, It's You has to settle for a #5 debut on this week's Billboard 200 countdown - behind LPs by Taylor Swift, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, India.Arie and The Fray.

Allen's previous album, 2006's Alright, Still, peaked at #20 on the US albums chart.

She is currently at number one on both the singles and albums charts in the UK.
