Glastonbury makes its mark on chart but Coldplay remain at the top.
Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends makes another big (46.6%) dip in sales but still has enough power to easily chalk up another week at number one, with sales of 58,509 being more than its two closest challengers - Duffy's Rockferry (35,683) and Chris Brown's Exclusive (18,157) - combined.
Viva La Vida has now been number one for four weeks, equalling Coldplay's personal record as set by their last album, X&Y. At that stage of its life, X&Y had sold 907,240 copies, while Viva La Vida has sold 668,114 copies. X&Y topped the 100,000-sales mark on each of its first four weeks in the shops, Viva La Vida for its first three.
Viva La Vida is the first album by a group to spend more than three weeks at number one since the end of 2006/start of 2007, when Take That's Beautiful World reigned for six weeks.
Elsewhere, the "Glastonbury Effect" helped to boost many albums, including Back To Black: The Deluxe Edition by Amy Winehouse (up 13-7, with sales of 11,602); Vampire Weekend's self-titled debut (28-16, 9,111 sales); and MGMT's Oracular Spectacular (32-19, 8,585 sales).
The Seldom Seem Kid by Elbow rockets 59-22 - its highest chart placing for 13 weeks - on sales of 8,334; Kings Of Leon's Because Of The Times re-enters at number 37 (5,415 sales) to secure a 43-week high; and The Raconteurs' Consolers Of The Lonely improves 101 notches to re-enter the Top 75 at number 55 (3,623 sales).
Despite his Glastonbury appearance attracting headlines and two re- entries to the Top 40 singles chart, Jay-Z does not return to the Top 75. His highest-placed album this ...
