Stereophonics Beaten In Album Charts By Operatic Il Divo

As X Factor dominates singles chart...

Stereophonics have failed in their bid to top the album charts, losing out to operatic quartet Il Divo.

The band's greatest hits collection, 'Decade In The Sun', had to settle for second spot behind Il Divo's 'The Promise'.

It is the third time the quartet, created by Simon Cowell, have topped the album countdown.

Meanwhile, in the singles chart, the X Factor finalists' cover of Mariah Carey's 'Hero' held onto the number one spot for a third week.

The charity song is now the fastest selling single of the decade.

Elsewhere, T.I. And Rihanna's 'Live Your Life' was a new entry at number two, while the Killers 'Human' charted at number four.

  • @Gigwise Hmm, there might be some technical reason they're doing them in a particular order. Christ knows.

  • @Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
