Emeli Sandé returns to albums No.1 with ‘Our Version Of Events’

Sunday, March 4th, 2012

Emeli Sandé has recaptured the UK album chart top spot with debut record Our Version Of Events.

The ‘Next To Me’ singer finished on top for a second Sunday after switching places with Adele’s 21, this week’s runner-up.

+ by Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die are non-movers at three and four, while Meat Loaf returns to the chart at five with his 12th studio album Hell In A Handbasket.

The late Whitney Houston’s Essential collection continues to climb, finishing at seven from last week’s 17. Coldplay and Adele, meanwhile, are both down as the buzz surrounding their Brit Awards performances begins to fade.

Mylo Xyloto slips two to eight and Adele’s 2008 debut 19 stumbles from seven to ten in its 155th week on the chart.
