UK Charts: Olly Murs & Amy Winehouse Hit #1

From TheOfficialCharts.com:

Olly Murs exchanges last week’s Official Albums Chart crown for this week’s Official Singles Chart title as single ‘Dance With Me Tonight’, released three weeks ago, climbs to the top spot having held at Number 2 for the previous two weeks. Olly was previously held off the Number 1 spot by Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’ ft Calvin Harris (this week’s Number 4) and the 2011 X Factor Finalists ‘Wishing On A Star’ (this week’s Number 2).

Olly Murs can now claim six Official Charts Top 10 hits to his name including his previous Official Singles Chart Number 1s ‘Please Don’t Go’ (2010) and ‘Heart Skips A Beat’ ft Rizzle Kicks (2011) and last week’s Official Albums Chart Number 1, the aforementioned ‘In Case You Didn’t Know’.

Amy Winehouse flies to the top of this week’s Official Albums Chart and lands the biggest weekly sales tally of her career with ‘Lioness: Hidden Treasures’ selling over 194,000 copies.

This also gives the singer one of the biggest first week album sales of the year behind only Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ (215,000), Coldplay’s ‘Mylo Xyloto’ (208,343) and Adele’s ‘21’ (208,090).

The 12 song collection, put together after the singer’s tragic death in July this year, features previously unreleased tracks, alternative versions of existing classics and new compositions. The album was compiled by her long-time musical partners, producers Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson, in close association with Amy’s family, management and record label, Island Records. It includes Amy’s final studio recording, Body & Soul, a duet with Tony Bennett which was made in March 2011 at Abbey Road. A donation of £1 from the sale of each album in the UK will be donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which was launched on what would have been Amy’s 28th birthday, September 14th 2011.

Rihanna's Talk That Talk

Rihanna cements her place in the Official Charts history books this week becoming the only female artist ever to achieve the Official Singles and Albums Chart double twice in the same year with different singles and albums. She’s also broken a flurry of additional chart records in the process.

Today, We Found Love ft Calvin Harris nails a sixth week as the Official Singles Chart Number 1, after a fiercely fought battle with the new Olly Murs single Dance With Me Tonight, and new album Talk That Talk, her sixth studio release, soars straight to the summit of the Official Albums Chart selling over 160,000 copies in week 1 to become one of the fastest sellers of the year. In January, Rihanna landed the double with single What’s My Name ft Drake and album Loud.
