Techno Band Scooter Knock Madonna From Top Spot

Scooter, the German techno group have surprisingly knocked Madonna off the top of the UK album chart. Their Jumping All Over the World album, their first in six years, went straight in at number one. With only two singles released in the UK in past five years, both of them not even making the top 40, the number one album is a big surprise.

Madonna's Hard Candy album slipped to number two while Duffy retained her number three position with Rockferry.

Sam Sparro's self-titled album climbed to number four and Portishead's Third, their first album in 10 years slipped to number five, with the highest new album chart entry being Def Leppard with Songs From The Sparkle Lounge, their 14th album, at number 10. Willie Nelson's Best Of album was a new entry at number 16.

In the UK singles chart, Madonna, who played a mind-blowing set at Radio One's Big Weekend, retained her number one single, with 4 Minutes featuring Justin Timberlake staying at number one for the fourth week in a row.

Wiley's Wearing my Rolex retained its number two spot as did Sam Sparro's Black and Gold at number three. Heartbreaker by Will.i.am featuring Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole, climbed to number four ahead of Usher's Love In This Club at number five.

Violet Hill by Coldplay was the highest new entry at number eight, downloaded for free by two million people.
