The Greatest Showman is top of the bill on the Official Albums Chart

The show must go on – and it certainly is for The Greatest Showman, with the cast recording notching up another spell at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart.

Despite an array of new challengers, the hit movie album's enduring appeal kept it at the top for a fourteenth non-consecutive week.

Closest was US rapper J Cole, who scores a second Top 10 and a new personal best with KOD at 2, while UK country duo The Shires settle for a new entry at 3 with third album Accidentally on Purpose.
