Weller scores third albums chart No. 1
Paul Weller has knocked Usher from the top of the albums chart with 22 Dreams, his ninth studio album.

Danish pop sextet Alphabeat manage a respectable number ten debut for first album This Is Alphabeat. Other new entries come from Radiohead, at four with a Best Of compilation; and The Zutons, whose third record, You Can Do Anything, opens at six.
