Adele has managed a 15th week at the top of the UK album chart with 21.
The 'Set Fire To The Rain' singer's sophomore album and its predecessor 19 hold onto their positions at numbers one and three respectively, as House actor Hugh Laurie squeezes between them with this week's highest new entry Let Them Talk.
Further down the digits, the Glee cast make their album chart return at seven with a compilation from the Fox show's all-boy group The Warblers, while Sade's Ultimate Collection, a celebration of the jazz band's 30-year career, arrives at eight.
Just missing out on a spot in the top numbers is another new entry, Colour Of The Trap from Miles Kane, which lands at 11 to sit in front of last week's Top 10 finishers Wasting Light by the Foo Fighters and Jennifer Lopez's Love?, down five and eight respectively to 12 and 14.
Also arriving this Sunday are Lake District indie rockers Wild Beasts and their third album Smother at 17, while chart veteran Tinie Tempah scrambles back into the top 20 with Disc-Overy after climbing three from 23 in its 32nd week of release.

Rap star Pitbull has collected his first UK number one single as a lead artist with 'Give Me Everything', while Lady GaGa has dominated the rest of the chart with four songs in the top 20.
The 30-year-old climbed three places to bounce Bruno Mars and 'The Lazy Song' from pole position with his Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer collaboration. He previously topped the charts in April as a featured vocalist on Jennifer Lopez track 'On The Floor', which is at ten this week.
Meanwhile, GaGa celebrates becoming the first female artist since Ruby Murray in 1955 to place four tracks in the upper half of the rankings, a feat also achieved by legendary artists Frankie Lane, John Lennon and Michael Jackson - the latter of which scored five top 20 hits after his death in 2009.
The highest placing of GaGa's entries this week is Born This Way promo single 'The Edge Of Glory', a non-mover at six, and 'Judas' follows just behind it after ascending from 11 to eight.
Her recently released teaser track 'Hair', a new entry at 13, is next up, as comeback single 'Born This Way' completes the collection by jumping eight places to 16 in its 15th week of release.
The record result has undoubtedly been fuelled by GaGa's spectacular set at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle on Sunday, as well as the hype over her imminent sophomore LP, which was streamed online this week ahead of its official release tomorrow.
Elsewhere, Swedish House Mafia score a new entry at 11 with 'Save The World', Dev scales four spots to 18 with 'Bass Down Low', while Katy Perry and Yasmin dip seven places together with 'E.T.' and 'Finish Line' to finish at 19 and 20 respectively.
Despite losing out to Jedward in last weekend's Eurovision Song Contest, reformed boyband Blue manage to beat the Irish twins in today's singles chart rematch. Their UK entry 'I Can' is up three places to 22, while Jedward's 'Lipstick' lands on the verge of the listings at 40.

Adele has tallied up a 16th week at the top of the UK album chart with 21.
The 'Turning Tables' singer denied veteran performer Kate Bush her fourth chart-topper by holding Director's Cut to the runner-up spot.
The 'Wuthering Heights' singer's highly-anticipated LP is her tenth UK album chart Top 10 in a career that has spanned over 30 years. She last appeared on the listings in 2005 with Arial, which peaked at three.
Further down the digits, Friendly Fires score today's second highest new entry and their best album chart placing to date with Pala at six, while Chase & Status continue their ascent with No More Idols, which is up two to seven.
Concluding the Top 10 is little-known Dutch jazz singer Caro Emerald and her 2010 album Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor, which previously peaked at 74 and last week lingered at 140. The astonishing boost is attributed to the popularity of her song 'On A Night Like This', which was recently picked up by a UK radio station.
Also skyrocketing up the charts is Lady GaGa's debut album The Fame, up 22 places to 11 in its 132nd week of release following her show at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle last Sunday.
The triumphant returns continue further down the listings, with Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album Rumours re-entering at 16 following the prominent use of its tracks in a Glee episode of the same name.
Aside from GaGa, the Big Weekend also benefits recent chart-toppers the Foo Fighters, who zip 16 places to 19 with their Greatest Hits collection, one spot ahead of a new entry from Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi entitled Rome.

Pitbull has retained pole position on the UK singles chart with latest offering 'Give Me Everything'.
The US rapper fought off competition from former chart-topper 'The Lazy Song' by Bruno Mars and the climbing 'I Need A Dollar' by Aloe Blacc to keep his Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer team-up at number one for a second week.
Gliding into the top five for the first time this week is Romanian singer Alexandra Stan, whose 'Mr Saxobeat' advances nine places from 14, while The Saturdays celebrate their ninth Top 10 hit in just three years with 'Notorious' at eight.
Further down, the Swedish House Mafia just sneak into the top sellers with 'Save The World', up from 11 to ten, Jennifer Lopez makes some advances of her own with 'I'm Into You', up eight to 13, and Nicole Scherzinger's 'Right There' rides rumours of her appointment to the X Factor USA panel to land at this week's 15 from its previous finish of 27.
One week after becoming the first female artist in over 55 years to have four entries in the top 20 simultaneously, album chart champion Lady GaGa celebrates placing three songs in the upper half of the rankings - 'Judas', down one to nine, 'Born This Way', down one at 17 and 'The Edge Of Glory', which slips 12 spots to 18.
The top 20 concludes with Inna's 'Sun Is Up' falling four places to 19 and Rihanna's 'California King Bed' achieving a new peak after climbing 16 digits from 36.

Lady GaGa has soared to the top of the UK album chart after posting the biggest first-week sales of 2011 so far with Born This Way.
The 'Edge Of Glory' singer's long-awaited sophomore LP shifted over 215,000 copies since its release on Monday to bump album chart dominator Adele's 21 and 19 records into second and third place respectively.
Commenting on her success, the 25-year-old gushed: "I feel so honoured to have the highest first-week sales in the UK this year. I wrote the album's first single 'Born This Way' in Manchester because I was so inspired by the confidence and bravery characteristic of my fans, little monsters. To the United Kingdom, thank you for believing in me."
Elsewhere in the rankings, veteran dance collective The Prodigy score their seventh Top 10 album with World's On Fire - Live at five, while GaGa's debut offering The Fame shoots to seven from last week's 11 following Born This Way's arrival.
Meanwhile, Kate Bush manages to snatch just one week in the top 10 after latest album Director's Cut slides nine spots to 11, finishing just ahead of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons collection Working My Way Back To You, a new entry at 12.
Aloe Blacc continues to collect fans as his Good Things LP climbs from 26 to 14, while Take That's multi-million-selling Progress jumps five places to 16 after the launch of their record-breaking live tour in Sunderland on Friday.
Finally, the Foo Fighters slip nine places to 18 with Wasting Light, Friendly Fires land at 19 from last Sunday's six with Pala and Fleet Foxes conclude the top 20 after Helplessness Blues crashes eight places from 12.

Pitbull has notched up a third week at pole position on the UK singles chart with 'Give Me Everything'.
The rapper's team-up with Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer fought off rising rivals Aloe Blacc's 'I Need A Dollar' and Alexandra Stan's 'Mr Saxobeat' to retain the number one spot.
Outside the top five, DJ Alex Gaudino claims his fourth Top 10 hit in as many years, as well as the week's highest new entry, with his Kelly Rowland collaboration 'What A Feeling' at six, just outdoing Rihanna's 'California King Bed', which leaps to eight from last Sunday's 20.
Also sneaking into the Top 10 for the first time is Jennifer Lopez and Lil Wayne's 'I'm Into You', up three from 13, while Jessie J and Dev finish on the verge of the upper quarter after taking respective tracks 'Nobody's Perfect' and 'Bass Down Low' to this week's 11 and 12.
However, Lady GaGa, David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia find themselves suffering the opposite fate, as 'Judas' slips six to 15, 'Where Them Girls At' falls from 11 to 16, and 'Save The World' loses its place in the Top 10 after tumbling seven to 17.
The biggest loss this week though is reserved for the Saturdays and 'Notorious', which plummets 13 digits to 21 in only its second week on the chart.

Lady Gaga has snatched a second week atop the UK album chart with Born This Way.
The 'Judas' singer's sophomore LP once again held Adele's 21 and 19 collections to second and third place respectively.
Born This Way has collected numerous chart accolades since becoming the fastest-selling number one of 2011 last Sunday, achieving global sales of over 2m copies and pushing GaGa past the 3m milestone in the UK when combined with her debut album The Fame.
Three new acts debut within the Top 10 behind the chart-topping ladies this week, the highest of which are Alabama-born sisters The Pierces, who land at four with their latest studio LP You & I.
The pair formed in 2000, but failed to chart in the UK with any of their three previous albums until being recruited to ex-Coldplay member Guy Berryman and Grammy award-winning producer Rik Simpson's production company.
Next in the new arrivals is US bluesman Seasick Steve and his third UK Top 10 album You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks at six, just ahead of climbing artists Aloe Blacc and Take That, at eight and nine respectively with Good Things and Progress.
Rock veterans Status Quo complete the upper rankings with their 34th top 40 hit Quid Pro Quo at ten, while Rihanna's Loud climbs five to 12 in its 29th week of release.
A new entry in the shape of Black Stone Cherry's Between the Devil And The Deep Blue Sea at 13 heads a slew of falling titles, with the biggest loses belonging to Hugh Laurie's Let Them Talk, down from eight to 15, and World's On Fire - Live by The Prodigy, which crashes 15 places to 20.

Example has collected his first UK singles chart number one with 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me'.
The London-born rapper - real name Elliot Gleave - ended Pitbull, Ne-Yo and Afrojack's three-week reign atop the rankings after shifting over 115,000 copies of his first solo track of 2011.
At three this week is newly-announced X Factor USA judge Nicole Scherzinger and her 50 Cent collaboration 'Right There', which becomes the Pussycat Doll's third consecutive solo top five hit after climbing from last Sunday's 14.
Elsewhere, Coldplay make their triumphant return to the top 40 at six with 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall', while former chart-toppers 'Party Rock Anthem' by LMFAO and 'The Lazy Song' by Bruno Mars trip three apiece to seven and eight.
In the double digits, Dev's 'Bass Down Low' advances two places from 12 to enter the Top 10 for the first time, as Chris Brown and Benny Benassi fall out of it with 'Beautiful People', which is down four to 11.
Following Michael Collings's performance of the song in last Saturday's Britain's Got Talent final, 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman becomes the week's highest climber, by shooting from 28 to 13.
Also gaining ground are the Black Eyed Peas with 'Don't Stop The Party', which climbs 13 places to 17 and lands one number behind Alex Gaudino's Kelly Rowland team-up 'What A Feeling', down from six to 16.

The Arctic Monkeys have scored their fourth successive UK album chart number one with Suck It And See.
The indie rockers knocked Lady GaGa's worldwide best-seller Born This Way from pole position to become only the second band in history to debut atop the rankings four times in a row.
Official Charts Company managing director Martin Talbot said: "With the Arctic Monkeys cementing their place in the history books so soon after Adele's phenomenal run at Official Albums Chart number one, British talent is clearly in very good health indeed."
Keane were first to win four consecutive chart-topping records between 2005 and 2010, while George Michael and Boyzone equal the feat when compilation discs are taken into account.
Elsewhere, 11-year-old America's Got Talent star Jackie Evancho lands at four with debut album Dream With Me, as the Glee cast return to the Top 10 with their sixth soundtrack LP, a new entry at six.
Louis Walsh's latest girlband Wonderland - made up of former X Factor contestants - also manage a respectable debut with their self-titled album at eight, landing just a few spots above folk-punk singer Frank Turner's newest release England Keep My Bones at 12.
By contrast, The Pierces and Aloe Blacc are ejected from the Top 10 after slipping nine and seven places respectively with You & I and Good Things, this Sunday's 13 and 15.
Finally, Iron Maiden compilation From Fear To Eternity and All Time Low's Dirty Work snag the final spots in the top 20 on their first week of release, while Nicole Scherzinger sees her debut solo album Killer Love ascend 13 places to 22 following her appointment to the X Factor USA panel.

Example has retained the number one spot on the UK singles chart with 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me'.
The 'Kickstarts' rapper emerged victorious from a close sales battle with Calvin Harris and 'Bounce', which temporarily snatched pole position on Wednesday's midweek update.
Despite missing out on number one, Harris celebrates in 'Bounce' his eighth top Top 40 hit. He previously reached the peak of the rankings with 'I'm Not Alone' in 2009 and 'Dance Wiv Me' in 2008.
Debuting at three this week is Ed Sheeran and 'The A Team', while 'Spaceship', Tinchy Stryder's team-up with Dappy, touches down at five. The N-Dubz star previously confessed on Twitter to being disappointed with the track's chart performance.
Glancing past the top five, Nicole Scherzinger, Alexandra Stan and Aloe Blacc occupy spots six to eight after falling three apiece with respective tracks 'Right There', 'Mr Saxobeat' and 'I Need A Dollar'.
With other fallers occupying the rest of the Top 10 and the first three entries outside, it takes Jennifer Lopez's 'On The Floor' to break the pattern by bumping up four to 14, setting the trend for Lady GaGa and Nicki Minaj, who climb 12 and two respectively with 'The Edge Of Glory' and 'Super Bass' - this week's 16 and 17.
Elsewhere, Jessie J crashes eight to the bottom of the top 20 with 'Nobody's Perfect', while Coldplay's comeback hits a stumbling block as 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' falls from six to 22.
Katy Perry, meanwhile, sees her latest track 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' land at 25 based on the buzz surrounding its star-studded video, which was released this week.
