The record shifted an incredible 104,000 copies as of midnight last night (May 21) in the UK and during its first 48 hours of being made available became the third fastest selling album of 2013.

Justin Timberlake's 'The 20/20 Experience' (which is at No.32 this afternoon) currently holds the record, but Daft Punk are only 1,000 copies behind so the record could soon be theirs.

There are 4 other new entries in the Top 10 this week and at No.3 is The National with 'Trouble Will Find Me', Thirty Seconds To Mars are at 4 with 'Love Lust Faith + Dreams', and Texas have made an appearance at No.5 with 'The Conversation'. Demi Lovato's new offering, 'Demi', has entered the albums chart at 6.

Jamie Cullum has debuted with his new record 'Momentum' at No.12, Paramore's self-titled new cut has dropped 10 spots to No.40, and Daft Punk's 'Discovery' has climbed 1 position to sit at No.28 after 84 weeks on the chart.

Watch Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers perform 'Get Lucky' here:

The French duo are releasing 'Random Access Memories' in the UK on Monday (May 20) but it can be heard now on iTunes.

The highly-anticipated record is their fourth studio album, following on from 2005's 'Human After All'.

It features No.1 single 'Get Lucky', which includes cameos from Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers.

As previously reported, Daft Punk recently admitted in an interview that they don't understand the hype behind their new record. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo said:

"Right now my brain is shutting everything down, making me pretend that everything is normal. It still amazes me that everyone is so crazy about what we are doing. I'm like, either I am crazy or everybody's crazy. Maybe I am just dreaming but people seem to really freak out at what we are doing. I don't know why!"

The French electro duo scored their first ever UK No.1 single last week with their track ‘Get Lucky’, featuring Nile Rodgers and Pharrell Williams, and have retained the top spot for another week.

Although Rudimental took the No.1 slot in the album chart they are at No.2 in the singles chart with 'Waiting All Night'.

In the top ten Disclosure featuring Eliza Doolittle debuted at No.10 with ‘You & Me’, David Guetta featuring Ne-Yo and Akon with ‘Play Hard’ leapt 15 places to No.6, Passenger climbed seven places to reach No.4 and Macklemore featuring Ryan Lewis with ‘Can’t Hold Us’ rising another two places to No.3.

Other climbers this week include the Goo Goo Dolls 1998 single ‘Iris’ shooting up 27 places to No.12, AlunaGeorge’s ‘Attracting Flies’ climbing two places to No. 17, Chris Brown up three spots to No. 27 with ‘Fine China’ and Carly Rae Jepsen’s  ‘Tonight I’m Getting Over You’ up two spots to No. 33.

It's the digital age upon us and collaborations are faster becoming the highway to success. With album sales down and physical sales almost obsolete, the hottest topics are at the moment all edited down to 3 minutes for which it seems to be the single sale of the century. 40% growth in single sales from last year, and almost back to the glory days of the huge sales of the 90s, but delivered courtesy of megabytes. VEVO & Youtube's jumping on board, and Billboard together with Soundscan are reporting more single sales than we have time to listen to. They're even now counting youtube views as part of the algorithm that measures chart success. Newcomer Kyrie London is at the beginning of a digital era. Her debut single "Rooftops" is due for release June 2nd, and surprisingly features UK Garage Innovator and Daft Punk Collaborator Todd Edwards. Edwards is currently celebrating the success of the first single off Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, entitled "Get Lucky" featuring the rhythmic styling of Chic founder Nile Rodgers and Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes. 

The first cut from the album sounds like it just came out of Studio 54. Could this be the reincarnation of disco? Surprisingly soul has never left us in the words of Pharrell but just got lost along the way. The single debuted at #1 in 10 countries on itunes. Kyrie London is also hoping over the next couple weeks that she too will get lucky!

Kyrie's debut single "Rooftops" was remixed by Todd the God Edwards who put his unique spin on the record and also appeared alongside screen actor Robbie Gee for this 5 and a half minute short cinematic video, directed by Phil Hawkins. You can see the two walking down side by side with Kyrie as her enforcers. The two then proceed to part the crowd and bring her to the footsteps of a large fighting arena. Robbie Gee, movie star and well-loved UK TV actor has certainly not lost his charm. With his soft spoken voice and gangster-like appearance, he oozes substance and delivers the impacting lines, "This is your break. This is your time," like only Robbie Gee could. Compelling? Yes. Out of the ordinary? Definitely. But somehow it manages to keep you there like mother's sticky treacle pudding. I also found myself feeling quite nostalgic on the journey through this classic 80s feel good movie approach. "It's going down" in the gritty urban setting which suddenly springs to life like an episode of Fame or like one of my all-time favorites Flash Dance. Fame Costs, and here's where you start paying in sweat. Very reminiscent of Eminem's 8 Mile. While Sancola Music anticipates the forthcoming album release of their first US artist, Kyrie's  melodies are certainly at the forefront, interwoven into a tapestry of electronic sounds and thudding kick drums, but somehow maintaining a human connection. Definitely a breath of fresh air in the right direction, due west if I'm correct in thinking, according to the robots.

Guitarist Nile Rodgers worked with Lambert on a new track called 'Shady' and today (April 30) he uploaded some photos from the session on his official website.

Writing about the pictures, Rodgers said:

"A few months ago I played on a funky Adam Lambert track called "Shady." Typically, I photograph what goes on in my daily life after being attacked by aggressive cancer last year."

"Since I can't photograph and play guitar at the same time, my guitar tech Terry shoots when I'm playing. He wanted to be respectful of Adam since it was his first time meeting him, so he took these shots as discreetly as possible. Most of them are being Seen For the First Time."
