NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS, HERE'S THE U.K. TOP 10: Sam Smith’s In the Lonely Hour tops the U.K. album chart in its debut week (it streets stateside on 6/17); his “Stay With Me,” last week’s #1 British single, is #2 this week. Parlophone’s Coldplay, meanwhile, drops to #2 on the album side. And keep an eye on young pop-rockers The Vamps (on Island in the U.S.), who jump eight places to enter the Top 10. Here’s the rundown, sans totals, courtesy of the bloody brilliant Official Charts Company.
