Sheeran has three times as many chart sales as his closest competitor, Capaldi's Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent (Virgin EMI). Meanwhile, Kaiser Chief's Duck was the top seller in independent record shops.
NF has scored his first U.K. Top 10 album with The Search (Universal) at #7, while ska group The Dualers debut at #11 with Palm Trees and 80 Degrees (Sunbeat).
