Cole holds Bon Jovi off albums top spot
Cheryl Cole has prevented Bon Jovi from scoring their first No.1 album in nearly ten years.

Her solo debut 3 Words notches up a second week atop the albums chart this week, forcing the US rock band to settle for a number two entry with The Circle. Bon Jovi last reached the summit with Crush in 2000.

However, Cole is unable to repeat last week's chart double after JLS's 'Everybody In Love' knocks 'Fight For This Love' off the top of the singles chart.

Elsewhere on the albums countdown, Foo Fighters debut at four with their Greatest Hits compilation, while Katherine Jenkins's The Ultimate Collection enters at nine.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé's I Am...Sasha Fierce set rebounds from 53 to eight after being expanded with several new tracks.

Outside of the top ten, Joss Stone's fourth album, Colour Me Free!, makes a lowly debut at number 75. Her three previous albums peaked at four, one and twelve respectively.
