Michael Jackson scores UK No.1 album with posthumous LP, Xscape

Michael Jackson finds himself back at the top of the charts once again, after posthumous album Xscape landed at the No.1 spot this week. 

This is The King Of Pop's second posthumous release of unheard material since his death in 2009. The first was Michael - which peaked at No.4 in 2010. 

Xscape beat the second highest new entry, which was the new album from The Black Keys, Turn Blue. This is sure to upset The Black Keys, after drummer Patrick Carney last week described Xscape to Rolling Stone as "some fucking bullshit that sucks so bad that it took them three years after he died to make it listenable...Like he had to be dead for three years for it to be released."

Elsewhere in the albums chart, Paloma Faith is at No.3 with A Perfect Contradiction, Paolo Nutini slips to No.4 with Caustic Love and Foxes debut album Glorious enters at No.5.

Meanwhile in the singles chart, Rita Ora is at No.1 with 'I Will Never Let You Down', beating Mr Probz with 'Waves' at No.2, John Legend with 'All Of Me' at No.3, Calvin Harris' 'Summer' at No.4 and Kiesza who completes the top 5 with 'Hideaway'.
