Jazz and soul singer Adele appears to be living up to her billing as the hot new talent for 2008 after her album went straight in at number one in the charts.
The 19-year-old singer-songwriter Adele Adkins, who uses only her first name, took the number one spot with her album "19", the Official UK Charts Company said on Sunday.
It was one better than her single "Chasing Pavements" which remained at number two in the charts for the third week.
Scouting for Girls' album of the same name dropped one place to two in the album charts, while Nickelback, one of the most renowned of the modern post-grunge genre bands, moved up from 10 to three with "All the Right Reasons".
The south Wales four-piece metalcore band Bullet for My Valentine was a new entrant at five with "Scream Aim Fire".
There was no change among the top three in the singles charts.
Basshunter's Euro dance track "Now You're Gone" kept Adele at bay as the Swedish DJ Jones Altberg held onto number one spot for the fourth week in a row.
Nickelback's single "Rockstar" remained at three.
American R&B singer Kelly Rowland's "Work" moved up three places from seven to four while Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music" dropped one to five.
Electropop band Hot Chip was a new entrant at six with "Ready for the Floor", while troubled star Britney Spears slipped one to seven with "Piece of Me".
