Coldplay are number one in the album chart for the fifth week in a row with 'Vival La Vida.'
The indie outfit's fourth record has now shifted in excess of 600,000 units, meaning that it is already double platinum in the UK.
The album has gone to the top spot in an incredible 36 countries, and has been certified platinum in 31 of those and double-platinum in the UK and Canada.
Despite 'Viva La Vida's global success, it's still only the second biggest selling album in the UK this year with Duffy's 'Rockferry' taking that honour having sold 1million copies.
Elsewhere in this week's album chart, Black Kids notched up the impressive chart entry of 5 with Partie Traumatic, while Beck made a debut at 9 with 'Modern Guilt.'
Dizzee Rascal's collaboration with Calvin Harris, 'Dance Wiv Me', is number one for the second week in the album chart. It thankfully fought off competition from Basshunter at two.
