Lynn, 92, becomes the oldest living artist to score a number one album after her We'll Meet Again compilation climbs to the top spot.
"I am extremely surprised and delighted - and a big 'thank you' to all my fans for putting me there," she told the Official Charts Company.
Meanwhile, The Beatles place four of their remastered albums in the top ten, breaking the record for most albums simultaneously in the top ten by a group. The previous record was held by The Monkees, who occupied three spots in the top ten in 1967.
Seven other remastered Beatles albums chart between positions 11 and 40, giving the group a total of 11 entries in the Top 40.
