Plan B has this week scored his second No.1 album in the UK with his latest release, Ill Manors - the soundtrack to the movie of the same name.

Despite ditching the crowd-pleasing retro soul sounds of his previous release, Plan B scores a No.1 with the soundtrack to his film directing debut. The album includes guest appearances from Labrinth and Kano, among others.

The Hackney-born rapper tops the chart amid a flurry of new entries in the Top Ten, with US rockers The Gaslight Anthem landing at No.2 with their latest release, 'Handwritten'. Jennifer Lopez hits collection 'Dance Again The Hits' lands at No.4 with Joss Stone's new collection of cover versions is new at No.6.

Further down the chart, Slipknot's latest album, 'Antennas To Hell' enters at No.22 and Vangelis 'The Collection' is new at No.37.
