U.K. Charts: Craig David Steals Boyzone Stars Album Glory
LONDON-- Craig David has ended Ronan Keating s two-week reign at the top of the Official U.K. Album chart. The 19-year-old soul singers first LP "Born to Do It" went straight to No. 1 on Sunday (8/20). Keatings debut album "Ronan," which has sold over 600,000 copies in only three weeks, fell to No. 2 and The Corrs "In Blue" also fell one place to No. 3.
The knockdown effect made Eminems "The Marshall Mathers EP" fall from No. 3 to No. 4, and singer-songwriter David Grays "White Ladder" dropped from No. 4 to No. 6. Whitney Houstons "The Greatest Hits" rose six notches from No. 11 to No. 5.
New entries in the chart included Mansuns latest album "Little Kix" at No. 12 and the Bomfunk MCs "In Stereo" at No. 33.
Meanwhile, Italian DJ Spiller beat Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) to the top of the Official U.K. Singles chart with his new EP "Groovejet." "Out of Your Mind" by the True Steppers and Dane Bowers (formerly of boy band Another Level) featuring Victoria Beckham debuted at No. 2. Last weeks top single "I Turn to You" by Spice Girl Mel C fell to No. 4 and Robbie Williams "Rock DJ" also fell from No. 2 to No. 3.
The only other new entry in the Top 10 was Britney Spears at No. 5 with "Lucky."
