Madonna equals Elvis chart record

Madonna has equalled Elvis Presley's record for the most number one albums by a solo artist.

Her 36-track Greatest Hits compilation, Celebration, debuts in the top spot this week to become her eleventh number one on the UK albums chart.

Only The Beatles, with a total of 15 number ones, have reached the summit more often.

Last week's chart-topper, The Resistance by Muse, slips to two.

Meanwhile, Dizzee Rascal scores his highest position yet on the chart after entering at three with fourth LP Tongue N' Cheek.

Mika also debuts inside the top five, landing at four with second studio set The Boy Who Knew Too Much. His debut, Life In Cartoon Motion, topped the chart upon its February 2007 release.
