The Corrs, Craig David Stay On Top Of British Sales

LONDON--The Corrs stayed at the top of the Official U.K. Album Chart for a second week in a row with their latest release "In Blue." The foursome's third studio album was also certified platinum after just two weeks in shops, selling over 300,000 copies in Britain.

There was also no movement between No. 2 to No. 6, which included, in descending order, Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP" Coldplay's "Parachutes," David Gray's "White Ladder," Moby's triple-platinum "Play" and Whitney Houston's platinum "The Greatest Hits."

There were no new entries in the Top 50 this week. However, the biggest jump up the chart into the Top 20 included boy band Five's repackaged "Invincible" album, which went from No. 40 to No. 13, Savage Garden's "Affirmation," which rose from No. 32 to No. 15, and Eminem's first album "Slim Shady," which went from No. 17 to No. 10.

Although the album chart remained relatively static, rapper Craig David entered the Official U.K. Singles Chart at No. 1 on Sunday with his latest EP "7 Days." Bomfunk MC also entered the chart at No. 2 with its debut single "Freestyler." The only other new entry in the Top 10 this week was Santana featuring the Product G&B at No. 6 with "Maria Maria."

Five & Queen's new version of "We Will Rock You" fell two places from No. 3 to No. 5 and Ronan Keating's "Life Is a Rollercoaster" dropped from No. 2 to No. 4. Other downshifts in this week's Top 10 included Destiny's Child "Jumpin Jumpin," falling from No. 3 to No. 5, the Corrs' "Breathless" sliding from No. 6 to No. 9 and Limp Bizkit's "Take a Look Around" dropping from No. 7 to No. 10.
