Wigan four-piece The Verve have debuted at No.1 with their first album in football team years.
The reformed group's Forth LP matches the success of their last studio set, Urban Hymns, which topped the charts upon its 1997 release.

Other new entries in the cover ten get along from tardy songbird Eva Cassidy, a Michael Jackson hits compilation, rapper The Game and folk-rock isaac Bashevis Singer Teddy Thompson.
