George Ezra returns to the top of the UK album chart

George Ezra has regained the No. 1 spot on the UK chart with his debut album 'Wanted On Voyage'. 

Since it's release in October 'Wanted On Voyage' has become the third-biggest selling artist album of 2014.

Ezra's debut LP has sold 72,000 copies in the last seven days and is now back at No. 1 for it's third non-consecutive week. 

Last week's No. 1 album, 'X' by Ed Sheeran, is now down one to No. 2. 

Completing this week's top five is Sam Smith's 'In The Lonely Hour' down one to No. 3, Taylor Swift's '1989' up three to No. 4, and Paloma Faith's 'A Perfect Contradiction' rises four places to No. 5. 

Reaching a personal record on this week's album chart are British guitar heroes Status Quo. The rock band have now reached their 500th week on the UK chart with their 'Aquostic (Stripped Bare)' sitting at No. 34.  

Status Quo are one of only 50 acts who have charted for 500 weeks or more in music history. Queen hold the record for most weeks in the chart with 1457 weeks, while The Beatles (1406 weeks) and Elvis Presley (1364 weeks) come in at second and third place respectively.
