Kanye West has soared straight to the top of this week's UK albums chart with Yeezus, while Robin Thicke retains the No.1 single for the fourth week in a row with 'Blurred Lines'.

Thicke's success now means that 'Blurred Lines' has become the second biggest selling single of 2013 behind Daft Punk's runaway smash 'Get Lucky'.

Elsewhere in the singles chart, Jason Derulo lands at No.2 with 'The Other Side' while 'La La La' by Naughty Boy featuring Sam Smith slips to No.3. Passenger hang on in the top 5 with 'Let Her Go' at No.4 and Dizzee Rascal with Robbie Williams come in at No.5 with 'Goin' Crazy'.

In the albums chart, Black Sabbath slip behind Kanye with 13 at No.2, while Kodaline score an impressive No.3 with their debut album 'In A Perfect World'. Rod Stewart slips down to No.4 with 'Time' while Passenger complete the top 5 with 'All The Little Lights'. Another noteable entry is Sigur Ros who land at No.9 with Kveikur.
