Adele holds on to the Official Albums Chart throne for eleventh week

Plus, seven new entries including Alessia Cara, Killswitch Engage and Jeff Buckley.

Adele has kept the seat of the Official Albums Chart throne warm... for herself. 25 is Number 1 for a second straight week, its 11th in total.

The When We Were Young star will surely be on cloud 9 (or would that be cloud 11?) as her album 25 outsold its nearest rival by over 10,000 copies. It's a feat all the more impressive when you consider 25 is not available to stream, meaning she's defeating her rivals left, right and centre on physical and digital sales alone.

Adele's closest competition, Justin Bieber, climbs one place to Number 2 with Purpose, returning to the peak position it debuted at back in November. Despite being the first artist to hold 1, 2 and 3 at the same time on the Official Singles Chart with tracks from the album, Purpose has still yet to become Justin's second Number 1 album.

The rest of the Top 5 features last week's usual suspects, but in a different order. Jess Glynne's I Cry When I Laugh falls one place (3), and David Bowie's Best of Bowie and Coldplay's A Head Full of Dreams both hold firm, at 4 and 5 respectively.

New entries and high climbers

There are a total of seven new entries this week on the chart. Incarnate, the seventh studio album from Killswitch Engage gives the metalcore group their first UK Top 10 album, besting 2013's Disarm the Descent which peaked at 15.

Painkillers, from The Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon, is the next newbie at Number 13, and Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara also makes a solo debut, with Know-It-All entering at 14. Read our interview with Alessia here.

Jeff Buckley's latest posthumous release You And I is a new entry at 16, just ahead of Twenty One Pilots' Blurryface, which bounces nine places to 17.

Other new entries come from Norwegian singer Aurora (of John Lewis advert fame)'s All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend (28) and former Australian Idol runner-up Matt Corby's Telluric (36).

The week's highest climber is from Walking On Cars, whose debut album jumps 59 places. Everything This Way nabs a new chart peak of 39, over two months since it made its Top 100 debut.

Finally, Bethel Music achieve their second Top 40 album with Have It All - Live at Bethel Church (40).
