Lady Gaga has reclaimed the UK Number One position with her latest LP ‘Born This Way’. The eccentric star returned to the top position, knocking Take That from the Number One spot with their extended album ‘Progressed’.
The midweek charts revealed a close struggle between Gaga and Bon Iver’s self-titled sophomore album for the top spot, however the latter faltered in the second half of the week, earning the Number Four position. Still, this is a marked improvement from his debut LP, which peaked at Number 42 in the UK albums chart.
Also in the top ten are Adele, who is still going strong at Number Two with her hugely successful second album ‘21’, and Take That, who slip to Number Three with ‘Progressed’.
In the UK singles chart, Jason Derulo secured his second ever Number One with 'Don’t Wanna Go Home', knocking Example down to Number Two with his latest track 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me'.
