Isles Of Wonder, which features music selected by Olympic Games opening ceremony creative director Danny Boyle and musical directors Underworld, has climbed to Number 2 in the Official Compilations Chart, according to today's Official Chart Update.

The album, which was made available for download during the ceremony itself on Friday evening, debuted at Number 5 in the Official Compilations Chart after one day on sale. However, there seems to be no stopping the UK’s current bestselling compilation, Now That’s What I Call Music 82, which looks set to retain its Number 1 position after setting a new Official Chart record last week for becoming the fastest selling album of 2012 so far.

Now… spin-offs, Now That’s What I Call A Number 1!, which was released to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Official Singles Chart, and Now That’s What I Call Reggae!, are Number 3 and 4 in the chart, respectively, while Ministry Of Sound’s The Chillout Session, completes this week’s Official Compilation Albums Chart Update Top 5.

The Official Compilation Albums Chart Update Top 10 is as follows:

01	NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC 82
