In a first for Kaiser Chiefs, the Brit rockers are spending a second week atop the album charts in their home country of the UK. After the band's fifth studio album Education, Education, Education & War debuted at No. 1 last week, the album remains firm in the top spot.
According to The Official Charts Company, Kaiser Chiefs held steady against new releases from Aloe Blacc, Todd Terje and Black Label Society to secure to No. 1 album standing.
Though Blacc is the lone debut album to crack the top 10 this week, Kaiser Chiefs (led by The Voice UK judge Ricky Wilson) bested albums from popular British acts, such as Paloma Faith, George Michael and Sam Bailey.
Immediately, Kaiser Chiefs are followed by Faith's A Perfect Contradiction, which rebounded to No. 2 yet again this week after stumbling to 10 last week. She's followed by John Legend's Love In The Future at No. 3 and Michael's former chart-topper Symphonica at No. 4.
The highest debut of the week (and the only one in the top 10), Aloe Blacc's Lift Your Spirit arrived at No. 5. "The Man" singer debuted stong, ahead of Johnny Cash's new album Out Among The Stars (No. 6), Sam Bailey's The Power Of Love (No. 7) and Pharrell Williams' G I R L (No. 8) -- acts that are far more established.
London Grammer's If You Want landed at No. 9 this week, while Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey's collaboration effort Going Back Home rounded out the top 10.
