Adele's '21' takes 18th week at albums No.1
Adele has collected an 18th week at the peak of the UK album chart with 21.
The 'Rolling In The Deep' singer once again outperformed Beyoncé's 4 and her own debut LP 19 to capture the title.
Caro Emerald takes her Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor to a new peak of four after climbing two more places, while Lady GaGa rounds out the top five with Born This Way.
This is the second all-female top five to occur this year, after Adele's albums, Katy B's On A Mission, Rihanna's Loud and Who You Are by Jessie J secured the top spots back in April. Female artists have spent a combined total of six months at number one on the album chart in 2011, while male artists have held pole position for just four weeks.
Elsewhere, Rihanna's aforementioned LP clambers three places to seven, where it is followed by a new entry from LMFAO entitled Sorry For Party Rocking at eight and Chase & Status's No More Idols, up two to nine.
Take That, meanwhile, tumble out of the Top 10 after falling three places to 12 with Progress, as Chris Brown's comeback album F.A.M.E. climbs another four entries to 14.
Further down, The Horrors find themselves lingering at 17 after an impressive debut at five last Sunday, while The Script's September 2010 release Science & Faith launches 14 spots to 18 in its 45th week on the chart.
The dramatic contrasts continue at the depths of the top 20, as Katy Perry's Teenage Dream bounces to 19 from 22 off the back of her MTV VMA nominations, Arctic Monkeys' former chart-topper Suck It And See crashes five to 20 and Elbow's Build A Rocket Boys! blasts to 21 from last week's 34.

Chris Brown and Justin Bieber once again finish the top 20 with 'Next To You', denying Enrique Iglesias and Usher's 'Dirty Dancer' a spot in the upper half of the chart. The track is at 21 this week after an impressive 11-place leap.
Finally, Brighton-based duo Rizzle Kicks score the week's highest new entry at 22 with 'Down With The Trumpets'. The pair have seen a spike in their popularity after featuring on Olly Murs's newly-released single 'Heart Skips A Beat'.

As was to be expected:
Amy Winehouse's material has rocketed up the UK singles and albums charts following her death yesterday.
The 27-year-old was found dead at her home in Camden on Saturday afternoon, prompting an outpouring of emotion from fans and widespread investment in her back catalogue.
In the seven short hours between confirmation of her death and this weekend's charts being tallied, Winehouse's 2006 album Back To Black rose to 59 on the official rankings, while a deluxe edition of the LP landed at 163.
On the singles chart, her 'Back To Black' and 'Rehab' songs re-entered at 81 and 181 respectively.
Despite the modest positions, sales of Winehouse's albums increased by 37 times between Friday and Saturday and her tracks are shifting at 23 times the previous rate - paving the way for a much higher finish next weekend.
"For the world and British music to lose such a talent and icon yesterday is truly tragic," Martin Talbot of the Official Charts Company said. "And already the popularity of Amy's music with the British public is being demonstrated, with sales of her albums rocketing by 37 times over the past 24 hours - according to Official Charts Company data.
"While Amy has already had an impact on the Official Charts - seven hours is just 4% of the seven-day sales period monitored for the Official Charts - we would expect an even bigger impact to roll through over the coming days.
"Such a demonstration of her popularity is the best tribute the British public can pay to this extraordinary British talent."
Winehouse's Back To Black album is currently number one on iTunes charts worldwide.

The late Amy Winehouse has returned to the top of the UK album chart with her celebrated 2006 LP Back To Black.
The 'Tears Dry On Their Own' singer, who died last Saturday at the age of 27, took pole position from Adele's 21 after her passing prompted many to explore her critically-acclaimed discography.
As a result, her 2003 debut Frank - which previously peaked at 13 in 2005 - today achieves its best ever album chart placing at five, while a double pack of her two records finishes at ten.
Elsewhere in the Top 10, Caro Emerald's Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor, Lady GaGa's Born This Way and Doo Wops & Hooligans by Bruno Mars fall together to this week's six, seven and eight respectively.
Meanwhile, Katy Perry soars eight spots up the chart with her August 2010 release Teenage Dream at 11, as Rihanna and the Foo Fighters exit the top-sellers after stumbling five places apiece with Loud and Wasting Light, this week's 12 and 15.
Also taking a tumble this Sunday are Cee Lo Green's The Lady Killer, down three to 16, and Take That's Progress, at 17 from its previous finish at 12.
Finally, Lady GaGa slips four to 19 with her first album The Fame, which becomes sandwiched between two risers in the shape of Noah And The Whale's The Last Night On Earth and Elbow's Build A Rocket Boys!, up seven and one respectively to 18 and 20.

JLS have snatched the UK singles chart top spot from rival boyband The Wanted.
The X Factor group scored their fifth number one with new release 'She Makes Me Wanna', which also features Dev, to end The Wanted's two-week reign at pole position with 'Glad You Came'.
JLS first topped the charts with 'Beat Again' and 'Everybody In Love' in 2009, with 'Love You More' and 'The Club Is Alive' also reaching the summit the following year.
Meanwhile, 'Back To Black' by the late Amy Winehouse rises to eight this week, having previously peaked at 25 upon its release in 2006. The track jumped to 81 last Sunday following her death the previous afternoon and is the first of five singles from the 27-year-old to chart in the top 40 today.
Winehouse's 'Tears Dry On Their Own' is the next of her best-sellers at 27, while 'Rehab' follows at 29, 'Love Is A Losing Game' lands at 33 and 'You Know I'm No Good' finishes at 37. All come from Winehouse's 2006 LP Back To Black, which returned to the top of the UK album chart this weekend.
In the double digits, Nicki Minaj scores her first UK Top 10 single with 'Super Bass', which climbs a further two places from 12 in its 13th week on the listings. Calvin Harris and Kelis, however, head the opposite direction to finish at 11 from last Sunday's eight with 'Bounce'.
Former chart-topper 'Don't Wanna Go Home' by Jason Derülo is another faller today, landing at 15 from its previous finish of seven, just one spot ahead of the week's second highest new entry - Maverick Sabre's 'Let Me Go'.
Plummeters fill the final spots of the top 20 as well, with Example's 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me' crashing eight to 17, Aloe Blacc's 'I Need A Dollar' flying down five to 18 and David Guetta's team-up with Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida, entitled 'Little Bad Girl', at 19 from last week's 15.

The 18-year-old knocked fellow X Factor alumni JLS and their seventh release 'She Makes Me Wanna' from pole position after just one week. The Wanted's 'Glad You Came' and Ed Sheeran's 'The A Team' follow at three and four, while DJ Loud and Sian Evans round out the top five with 'Louder'.
Further down the numbers, David Guetta, Taio Cruz and Ludacris boost to six from 13, as two very different acts in the shape of Nicki Minaj and Rizzle Kicks both score their best ever UK chart finishes.

Calvin Harris and Kelis also take a tumble with 'Bounce', down three to 14, as Chris Brown and Justin Bieber race in behind them at 15 with 'Next To You', which is up seven this Sunday.
The week's second-highest new entry belongs to US up-and-comer Christina Perri and 'Jar Of Hearts' at 17, while Maverick Sabre and Aloe Blacc slide two apiece to 18 and 20 with 'Let Me Go' and 'I Need A Dollar'.

London-based dubstep duo Nero have collected their first UK singles chart number one with 'Promises'.
The electronic act, otherwise known as Dan Stephens and Joe Ray, pushed Cher Lloyd's 'Swagger Jagger' from pole position with their fourth ever release.
Speaking to the Official Charts Company, Ray credited the momentous feat to the success of their January single 'Me & You' and their nomination for the BBC's 'Sound Of 2011' poll.
"We'd been going since about 2004, then suddenly we had this number 15 hit," he said. "Before that, we were expected to carry on being an underground, word-of-mouth thing. Suddenly we were being played on Radio 1 and everything changed."
Beyond the summit of the chart, David Guetta, Taio Cruz and Ludacris climb two to this week's four with 'Little Bad Girl', as Christina Perri's 'Jar Of Hearts' rises 12 spots to round out the refreshed top five.
Their ascent, coupled with Nero's arrival at number one, forces Ed Sheeran's 'The A Team', 'Louder' by DJ Fresh and Beyoncé's 'Best Thing I Never Had' three, four and three places down the rankings respectively to this week's seven, nine and ten.
Nicki Minaj is shunted back three to 11 after slowly progressing up with the chart with 'Super Bass', while Katy Perry drops the same amount to 15 with 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' to finish just ahead of 'Titanium', a new entry from David Guetta and Sia, at 16.
The final four places in the top-sellers play host to a mix of climbers and fallers, as Loick Essien's 'How We Roll' drops seven to 17, 'Pumped Up Kicks' by Foster The People leaps four to 18, 'Bounce' by Calvin Harris lands at 19 from 14 and Benny Bennass's 'Cinema' sneaks up four to 20.
