The London-based band’s fourth full-length album topped this week’s countdown after outselling Avicii’s True by 6,000 copies.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s self-titled fifth studio album completes this week’s top five.

“We really can’t wait to come over and play for everyone in April, and when we play Wembley Arena on that tour, it’ll also be our biggest UK show yet too!”

Maximo Park are a new entry at number seven with Too Much Information. It becomes the Newcastle-based band’s third top ten album to date.

Further down the chart, Tina Turner’s Love Songs retrospective is a new entry at number 32, while Andre Rieu & The Johann Strauss Orchestra’s Love Letters enters at 35.

Elsewhere, Peter Berg’s Lone Survivor entered the chart at number six with £751,564.

“It’s a very proud time for us as a band and a special thanks to our management, label, family, friends and, most importantly, our fans, for their ongoing support. Thank you to everyone who’s purchased Cavalier Youth, it means everything and more!”

Beyoncé’s self-titled LP holds firm at number three, spending an eighth successive week in the top five.

Avicii climbs one spot to number four with True, while Sophie Ellis-Bextor drops one to five with her fifth studio album Wanderlust

Sheryl Crow scores this week’s second highest new entry with her ninth studio album Feels Like Home. The LP – Crow’s first new material in almost four years – makes its debut at number 16 on this week’s chart.

The Wolf of Wall Street leads UK box office

January 21st, 2014

The Wolf of Wall Street has topped the UK box office on its first weekend on release.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese’s fifth collaboration took £4.6 million to take the top spot ahead of last week’s number one 12 Years a Slave.

Wolf of Wall Street‘s debut represents a significant uptick on Scorsese’s last theatrically released film in the UK Hugo, which earned £1.2 million in 2011.

Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave managed to increase its ticket sales by £500,000 over the weekend, likely thanks to the renewed attention the film received thanks to the Academy Awards nominations.

Also benefiting from awards season buzz was Gravity, which climbed back into the top ten on the back of an IMAX re-release and 10 Oscar nominations.

Elsewhere, the chart’s only other new entry was horror movie Devi’s Due, earning £1 million to debut at number five.

The UK box office top ten in full:
1. (-) The Wolf of Wall Street – £4,655,984
2. (1) 12 Years a Slave – £3,055,020
3. (2) American Hustle – £1,547,249
4. (4) Frozen – £1,151,814
5. (-) Devil’s Due – £1,002,627
6. (3) The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug – £847,078
7. (5) Last Vegas – £830,499
8. (6) The Railway Man – £776,512
9. (7) Delivery Man – £670,753
10. (-) Gravity – £497,188
