Paul Simon "elated to have a Number 1" with his first chart-topping studio album in 26 years

Plus, more new entries including Bugzy Malone, Tegan and Sara and Ladyhawk.

Paul Simon today adds a fifth chart-topping album to his collection as his 13th solo album Stranger To Stranger goes straight in at Number 1.

Speaking to OfficialCharts.com, the legendary singer-songwriter said: "I don't know a recording artist who wouldn't be elated to have a Number 1 album. A big thank you to everyone who thought enough of the music to go out and buy it. I hope it stands up to multiple listens."

While Paul hit the top last year with career retrospective The Ultimate Collection, this is his first Number 1 studio album in 26 years, since Rhythm Of The Saints hit the top in 1990. View Paul Simon’s full Official Chart history.
