NEVERMIND THE BOLLOCKS—IT'S THE U.K. TOP 10

This Week's Top 10 Albums & Singles Across the Pond

Helium 3/Warner Bros.' Muse scores the biggest debut at #1 with Drones, their seventh studio album and fifth U.K. chart-topper. Meanwhile, British EDM project Leftfield debuts just outside the Top 5 with their first album since 1999 and Republic's Of Monster & Men rounds out the Top 10. The Rolling Stones re-enter the chart with the deluxe version of their 1971 classic, Sticky Fingers.

1. Muse, Drones (Helium 3/Warner Bros.)*
2. Florence + the Machine, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (Island)
3. Collabro, Act Two (SYCO)
4. Ed Sheeran, X (Asylum)
5. Sam Smith, In the Lonely Hour (Capitol)
6. Leftfield, Alternative Light Source (Infectious Music)*

8. Taylor Swift, 1989 (EMI)
9. Mumford & Sons, Wilder Mind (Gentlemen of the Road/Island)
10. Of Monsters & Men, Beneath the Skin (Republic)*

On the singles side, no debuts make it into the Top 10. RCA's Walk the Moon, however, make an astonishing leap, going #75-8 with "Shut Up and Dance," as it breaks into the Top 20 at BBC Radio 1 and is added at Capital. Jason Derulo's "Want to Want Me" (Warner Bros.) remains #1 for another week, while it jumps #12-1 at Radio 1.
