The singer has enjoyed huge global success with her second collection, which only slipped from the top spot briefly when Lady GaGa released Born This Way last month.
After taking their critically-acclaimed latest tour to Dublin last week, Take That's Progressed climbs into second place, rising one from its debut position.
Rihanna's Loud rounds off the Top 10, while Imelda May's Mayhem enjoys a seven-spot jump to number 13. Neil Diamond sits at at 16 as The Best Of rises 11 places from last week.
Despite topping the singles chart with 'Give Me Everything', Pitbull's album Planet Pit fails to set the chart alight as it only manages a number 18 debut, while being the only new entry in the chart. X Factor's Mary Byrne rounds off the top 20 with debut LP Mine & Yours.
Notable climbs are also made by Take That and Bruce Springsteen's respective Greatest Hits collections, which sit at numbers 26 and 27. On the back of their Dublin concerts, Take That's Circus also re-enters the chart at number 40.
