CHART TOPPERS
Biffy Clyro have scored their first number one album with 'Opposites', the Official Charts Company said.
The band reached number two and number three respectively with their two previous studio albums, 'Puzzle' in 2007 and 'Only Revolutions' in 2009.

'Opposites' has sold 71,500 copies this week, which is not only the biggest opening week tally for an album so far this year, but also a personal best for Biffy, eclipsing the first week sales of their previous top 10 albums.
'Opposites' relegates The Motion Picture Cast Recording of 'Les Miserables' to number two on the Official Albums Chart, while 35 years after its release, 'Rumours' is back in the top three as the Fleetwood Mac album finishes the week in third spot.
Meanwhile, Dutch dance duo Bingo Players remained at number one for a second week in the singles chart with a track that failed to make the top 40 in their native country.
The single 'Get Up (Rattle)', featuring Far East Movement, knocked pop princess Britney Spears and Will.i.am with 'Scream & Shout' off the top spot last week.
