Kaiser Chiefs have scored their first No.1 album in seven years with their latest release, knocking X Factor winner Sam Bailey from the top spot.
Frontman Ricky Wilson's recent stint as a coach on BBC's The Voice has helped to raise the band's profile, and indeed land new LP Education, Education, Education And War at the top of the charts - their first No.1 since 2007's Yours Truly, Angry Mob.
Wilson took to Twitter once the news had broken:
Congratulations everyone... I'm exhausted and happy. Thank you. #1

Elsewhere, The Power Of Love by Sam Bailey slipped to No.2, while George Michael finds himself at No.3 with Symphonica and Johnny Cash is at No.4 with Out Among The Stars. John Legend completes the top five with Love In The Future.
