Ed Sheeran has reclaimed the top spot on the Official Albums Chart this week with 'X'

Ed Sheeran has reclaimed the top spot on the Official Albums Chart this week with 'X'. 

The singer overtakes midweek leader Calvin Harris to return to No.1 12 weeks after its mammoth eight-week reign at the summit in July and August this year. 

The collection, which includes the Official Singles Chart No.1s 'Sing' and 'Thinking Out Loud', is currently the biggest selling artist album of the year. Check out the full list here

Meanwhile, Calvin is this week’s highest new entry with his fourth studio album 'Motion'. The album includes the No.1 singles 'Under Control', 'Summer' and 'Blame' and follows his chart-topping '18 Months' album, which re-enters this week at 21. 

Last week’s No.1 album '1989' from Taylor Swift slips to No.3, Dutch violinist Andre Rieu is new at 4 with 'Love In Venice', and Sam Smith completes the Top 5 with 'In The Lonely Hour'.

Elsewhere in the Top 10, John Legend leaps a massive 83 places to No.6 with 'Love In The Future' following his performance on last week’s X Factor, and Damien Rice enters at No.7 with his first album in eight years, 'My Favourite Faded Fantasy'. 

Scottish rockers Simple Minds debut at 12 with their 16th album 'Big Music', The Who land at 15 with their anniversary compilation album 'The Who Hits 50!', and Bob Dylan & The Band’s 'The Basement Tapes' is new at 17.

Further down the chart, London rapper Fuse ODG enters at 25 with his debut album 'Tina', and Australian electro house duo Knife Party land at 39 with their debut album 'Abandon Ship'.
