The second highest new albums entry this week is Sophie Ellis-Bextor with orchestral greatest hits, The Song Diaries (Cooking Vinyl), new at #14. The Cinematic Orchestra claim their first Top 40 album with To Believe (Ninja Tune) at #19 and blues guitarist Joanne Shaw Taylor opens at #20 with her seventh album, Reckless Heart (Sony Music).

On the Official Singles Chart, Capaldi spends a fourth week at #1 while Walker has his first Top 5 single with “Just You and I” rising six places to #4. Jonas Brothers’ “Sucker” (Polydor) rises two to #5.

Dave collects his fifth Top 10 single with “Location,” which rises three to #8, and Lauv and Troye Sivan both land their first Top 10 U.K. single with “I’m So Tired” (Kobalt) climbing four slots to #9.
