CHART TOPPERS
Will.i.am and Britney Spears might be number one in the singles chart again this week, but what's really interesting is that the cast of 'Les Miserables' have topped the official album chart.
This makes the stars of Tom Hooper's Oscar-nominated adaptation the first film cast to scoop a number one album in almost 16 years.
The last film cast to achieve this was 'Evita', helped by Madonna's vocals, in 1997.
