Dublin-bred pop-rockers The Script debuted at #1 on the U.K. album chart this week with their new album, which features the #10 iTunes U.K. single "Superheroes," while debuts from Barbra Streisand and Chris Brown land on the leaderboard.
Last week's #1, Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour, remains in the Top 5, sliding to #3. It's also worth noting that Slash clearly still has tricks up his top hat, as he debuts at #7.
On the singles side, dance duo Sigma bows at #1 with their infectiously upbeat smash, featuring alt soul songstress Paloma Faith. The tune is also on BBC Radio 1's A List, #3 at Shazam U.K. and the #2 iTunes U.K. single.
