Staying firmly at the top of the UK album chart this week is the now familiar Coldplay - Viva La Vida or Death & All His Friends.
That's 5 weeks at the top spot and sales in excess of 1 million on both sides of the Atlantic. Viva La Vida has topped the charts in 36 countries around the world, beating Coldplay's previous record of 32 number ones for X&Y! 
This week sees two new entries into the top ten;
Black Kids - Partie Traumatic as predicted by my good self last week is the highest new entry at #5. The band, much hyped last year, started life in 2000 as a Christian Ska Band. In their own words '..we wanted to make an album that had 10 singles on it..' They may just have done it!
Beck - Modern Guilt was another album hotly tipped by yours truly, and has hit this weeks #9 spot, not bad for the guy who has enlisted the assistance of Brian 'Danger Mouse' Barton in producing this fine record. The pairing shows a common interest resulting in a mixture of Psych-rock, Folk, Electronica and Orchestration.
A huge shout goes out to Lil Wayne who's Tha Carter III @ £6.99 (is also available as Tha Carter III (2CD Edition) @ £10.99) becomes the best selling album of the year in the U.S. returning to the top spot after being dethroned by Coldplay for just two weeks.
The album sold 156,000 copies to take the #1 spot, bringing its total tally to an amazing 1,682,000. Coldplay thus far have a total of 1,246,000.
If it was a 100yds dash then Lil Wayne would have it, but in a marathon run who has the legs?
