Kings of Leon set UK album chart record

Kings of Leon have soared to the top of the UK album chart with their record-breaking fifth album Come Around Sundown.

The 'Radioactive' band's latest effort has sold over 183,000 copies since its release on Monday, the biggest first week album sales of the year so far.

Come Around Sundown also broke the all-time sales barrier for the biggest first week digital album sales with over 49,000 downloads, a record previously held by their 2008 mega-seller Only By The Night.

Elsewhere on the chart, music legends The Beatles return to the top ten, as their newly-remastered greatest hits albums 1967-1970 and 1962-1966 enter at four and six respectively.

Also making a reappearance in the top ten are Katy Perry's Teenage Dream at five, a new edition of Michael Bublé's Crazy Love at seven and Pixie Lott's Turn It Up at nine, which have risen a combined total of 62 places this week.

Positions 11-20 see two more albums make their debuts, as Ali Campbell lands at 15 with Great British Song and Bob Dylan's compilation The Witmark Demos 1962-1964 arrives at 18.
