The midweek update saw the Grammy award-winning vocalist maintain her top spot whilst drum and bass duo Chase & Status entered the top ten at number 2 with their album, 'No More Idols'. 

Elsewhere in the chart, Bruno Mars' debut record 'Doo Wops & Hooligans' dropped down a place to number 3, Adele's first album '19' is sitting tight as a non-mover at 4 and Rihanna's 'Loud' completes the top 5.
