Chemical Brothers Snag Fifth U.K. No.1 Album

Dance mainstays the Chemical Brothers scored another U.K. No. 1 album, their fifth, with "We Are the Night" (Virgin). Yesterday's new charts also ushered in an eighth week at the top of the singles survey for "Umbrella" (Def Jam) by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z.

The Chemical Brothers first topped the British album chart in 1997 with "Dig Your Own Hole" and repeated the feat with "Surrender" (1999), "Come With Us" (2002) and 2005's "Push the Button." The new set, which includes the current top 20 hit "Do It Again," leads the chart ahead of the Traveling Wilburys' "Collection" (Rhino/Warner Bros.), which is back up 3-2, and "Time on Earth" (Parlophone) by the regrouped Crowded House, which opened at No. 3. That's the highest U.K. placing for a studio album by the Antipodean group, whose 1996 compilation "Recurring Dream" reached No. 1 in the market.

The trio will be descending on London on the 14th July and will be treating clubbers to a nine hour marathon set covering house music’s past, present and future. To create that original New York vibe Need2Soul have also shipped in original Body&SOUL lighting jock Ariel, who will be mesmerising the crowds with his shimmering light shows for the duration of the night.
