Nero's dubstep-influenced album
"Welcome Reality" also overtook chart staple Adele's "21",
which held the second spot, pushing Winehouse's "Back to Black" to
number three, the Official UK Charts Company said. US rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West
slipped to fourth place with "Watch the Throne."
Former Busted and
Fightstar band member Charlie Simpson's solo debut "Young Pilgrim,"
and "The Ultimate Collection" from country singer John Denver were
the only new entries apart from Nero's in the album top 20. On the singles
chart, Nero were unable to sustain last week's number one spot for
"Promises", slipping to number five.
The top three positions were all
taken by new entries. London rapper Wretch 32 achieved his first UK number one
with "Don't Go," featuring singer-songwriter Josh Kumra. In second
place was Scottish soul singer Emeli Sande's debut solo single
"Heaven", while US band Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger"
featuring Christina Aguilera was the third new entry.
