Chris Brown scores first UK number one album with Fortune

Chris Brown has reached the top of the UK album charts for the first time with his fifth studio effort, ‘Fortune.’

The 23-year-old’s follow-up to ‘F.A.M.E.’ comfortably outsold Maroon 5’s ‘Overexposed,’ which had to settle for the runner-up position for the second week in a row.

Last week’s number one, Linkin Park’s ‘Living Things,’ fell to No.3, Ed Sheeran’s ‘+’ dropped to No.4 while Emeli Sande’s ‘Our Version Of Events’ climbed to No.5.

Elsewhere there were new entries for Mary Chapin Carpenter’s ‘Ashes and Roses’ and The King Blues’ ‘Long Live The Struggle,’ while there were big climbs for The Stone Roses’ ‘The Very Best Of,’ fun’s ‘Some Nights’ and Katy Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream.’
