NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS—IT'S THE U.K. TOP 10: Britain's Got Talent-winning, show-tune-belting quintet Collabro score a #1 U.K. album debut this week, while indie-rocking Mancunians the Courteneers and Red Bull's Scottish riffmeisters Twin Atlantic enjoy big bows. Another Britain's Got Talent discovery, Welsh crooners Richard & Adam, debut in the Top 10 with their third album, a set of cinematic songs like "Moon River," "Goldfinger" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?"
On the singles side, Parlophone's David Guetta f/Sam Martin bows at #1 with "Lovers on the Sun," Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" (EMI) kicks in at #4, Epic's X Factor-surviving boy band Union J arrives at #9 with "Tonight (We Live Forever)" and Positiva's Berlin-based house DJ Wankelmut (with help from Emma Louise) shoots #190-5 with "My Head Is a Jungle."
