Ed Sheeran's No.6 Collaborations reclaims Official Albums Chart top spot
Ed Sheeran resumes his place at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart with No.6 Collaborations Project.
Ed claims his fifth non-consecutive week at the top, knocking last week's Number 1, Slipknot’s We Are Not Your Kind, down to 4.
Highest new entry this week comes from Frank Turner with No Man's Land, this week's biggest seller on physical format, going straight in at Number 3. No Man's Land tops this week's Official Vinyl Albums Chart and is the week's best-selling cassette.
Speaking to OfficialCharts.com, Frank says: "I'm extremely flattered and happy to have my fourth consecutive top 3 album – this far into my career, it feels like a significant achievement. Thanks everyone who picked it up."

Hardly surprising Slipknot didn’t stay top, barely anywhere (including HMV) had any copies, and the supermarkets never stocked it in the first place. All they sell is bland pop & compilations!

I really wanted Frank to finally get a well deserved number 1!! But no, again we have to get Ed and his overrated new "album"...i really like his first 2 albums but this new album is awful!!

I don't mind Ed going back to the top, but I really like seeing Frank Turner score his fourth Top 3 album in a row... impressive consistency! :D
Hopefully 'Lover' will be #1 next week (which I think it will since Taylor's last three albums have debuted at the top!).
Rob Parkinson
Yeah I think it is pretty safe to say 'Lover' has a great chance for the top next week
Piran
Yeah, I don't expect it to last more than one week at #1, but I'll just be happy if it gets there at all.
I knew it would have massive sales, but I didn't expect the streaming to be as big as it is! :O
