Congratulations to The Prodigy, who land straight in at Number 1 with their latest album No Tourists. 

The band's seventh studio album (ninth overall including greatest hits and live albums) lands at the top with 24,000 combined sales and streams, finishing ahead of the A Star Is Born cast recording, which holds at 2.

Seven Number 1 albums means The Prodigy rank among an elite group of acts with the most leaders on the Official Albums Chart. They join the likes of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Coldplay and George Michael, who each have seven Number 1 records. The Beatles hold the title with 15.

Last week's Number 1, Andrea Bocelli's Si, slips to 4, and The Greatest Showman cast recording completes the Top 5.
