U.K. Charts: Radiohead’s 'Kid A' goes to No. 1 as expected

Radiohead replaced Madonna at the top of the Official U.K. Album Chart on Sunday (10/8) as its fourth album "Kid A" debuted at No. 1. Meanwhile, the pop queen’s latest offering "Music" fell to No. 2 and Robbie Williams’ "Sing When You’re Winning" held fast at No. 3.

Other new entries in the Top 20 included punk group Green Day’s "Warning" at No. 4, teen pop star Billie Piper’s second LP "Walk of Life" at No. 14 and "You’re The One," Paul Simon’s first new studio album since 1990, at No. 20.

Jumps up the chart this week included Eminem’s "The Marshall Mathers LP"--which has now sold over 600,000 copies in the U.K.--from No. 5 to No. 6, after he was named best hip-hop act at the MOBO Awards last week. The Corrs moved up from No. 21 to No. 12, and Savage Garden moved from No. 31 to No. 23.

All Saints chalked up their second No. 1 single of the year as "Black Coffee" knocked Westlife and Mariah Carey’s duet "Against All Odds" down to No. 2. The second highest new entry of the week was Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan at No. 3 with Silence.

Other new entries in the Top 10 included Texas’ "In Demand" at No. 6, Whitney Houston and Enrique Iglesias’ "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" at No. 7 and Eminem’s "The Way I Am" at No. 8.

Meanwhile, Zombie Nation fell from No. 2 to No. 5 and Spice Girl Melanie B’s solo single "Tell Me" fell from No. 4 to No. 12.
