Kings of Leon get Brits boost

KINGS OF LEON are back at the top of the UK album charts thanks to their double win at last week's Brit Awards.

Ending Lily Allen's reign at number one, the US rock band, who won Best International Group and Best International Album, jump back up from number two to claim the top spot again.

They also climbed back up the singles charts as Use Somebody, which they performed at the event, stormed from number 12 to number three.

And it wasn't just the four-piece who were given a sale boost off the back of their win.

Duffy, the night's biggest winner with three gongs under her belt, saw her album Rockferry jump straight back to number four after jumping 15 places and doubling its sales from the previous week.

Even The Ting Tings, who failed to win an award but put on a rousing performance of That's Not My Name, saw a boost to their album sales, as We Started Nothing jumped to number eight, up from 33.

But U2, who opened the show at Earls Court, scored the highest new entry of the week, with Get On Your Boots charting at 12.
