The Prodigy score fifth No.1 album

The Prodigy's Keith Flint

Veteran dance act The Prodigy have notched up their fifth number one album.

Invaders Must Die, the group's first studio set since 2004, sold nearly 100,000 copies last week to debut atop the UK albums chart.

The rave trio - Keith Flint, Liam Howlett and Maxim Reality - also reached the top with 1994's Music for the Jilted Generation, 1997's The Fat of the Land, 2004's Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned and 2005's Their Law: The Singles 1990-2005.

Last week's number one album, Only By The Night by Kings of Leon, slips to two, while Lily Allen falls to three with It's Not Me, It's You.
