U2, Shakira with Livvi Frank & Pitbull complete the seven new entries.
Beatles Week has seen millions update their fab four collections with the newly released digitally remastered versions. So much so that The Beatles have four of the top ten albums: 'Sgt Pepper' at 5, 'Abbey Road' at 6, 'Revolver' at 9 and 'Rubber soul' at 10. Amazingly, Second World War forces sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn has beaten all to Number One.

Dai, Welshy & Waite
Red Dragon listeners will fondly remember Dai on Jason Harrold's Breakfast Show (pictured far left with chums) - a big listener winner transfer in missed by the current Dragon management.
After four years as Johnny Vaughan's London sidekick, Dai aka Welshy returned to the Principality last year to work on short films.
He landed a job with the mainly automated indie regional station Nation Radio and low and behold Dear Old BBC Wales have finally spotted his abilities.
4pm Sunday afternoon 'What's The Story' a quickfire panel game somewhat akin to 'Have I Got News For You', a well written half hour masterclass that showcases his sharp wit and an excellent production.
Dai aka Welshy aka Justin Waite has produced a radio winner that's ripe for transfer to BBC Wales TV now. Check out the last episode of the series this coming Sunday & you can listen to last weeks show by clicking & surfing onto BBC Wales 'What's The Story?' page here
No Wogan or Woss
So Chris Evans is the new Breakfast man at Radio 2, presumably Monday to Friday and indications are a three hour programme probably meaning bad news for Sarah Kennedy. Previous speculation that Jonathan Woss would replace Terry was wrong. Twenty years ago Woss went on record as saying the BBC should axe Wogan as younger listeners can't relate to him, now he himself faces similar criticism. There once was a maxim that time revealed as a guiding light against mistaken prejudice ... live and let live ... ah that was a long time ago.
This means that Chris Moyles, born three years after Wogan started on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show will never catch his elderly rival, however, with mass defections of Radio 2 listeners discontented at Tel's replacement Chris Evans, Moyles should finally get Radio 1 to Britain's number one Breakfast Show for the first time since Simon Mayo in 1992 - a very big achievement and potential revenge on Evans who seemingly humiliated Moyles by sacking him from the TV show Evans himself gave him.
What's been the secret of Wogan's success? Well, in this excerpt from his 1981 book 'The Day Job', he makes it sound so simple ..
Lights Out
We got a pretty spooky view of what a City Centre would look like without street lights when the things mysteriously turned off at 3am on Sunday morning. A chilling prospect to gaup at as darkness tookover except for shop lights. They were on again half an hour later so maybe it was a power cut .....
then again we do seem to be running out of power and now the Russians seem to be coming to the rescue. Check today's enlightening report from the Press Association...
"A Russian state-owned nuclear firm is attempting to break into the UK market with direct approaches to British firms, it was reported today.
Atomenergoprom is thought to have made contact with British Gas owner Centrica and manufacturing giant Rolls-Royce as it looks to become a major player in the UK and beyond, according to the Observer. The firm has already signed a joint venture with Toshiba, whose Westinghouse subsidiary runs the UK's main nuclear manufacturing site, Springfields, near Preston. It is understood that the group, which has access to Russia's uranium mines, has already provided some fuel to the Sizewell plant in Suffolk.
Atomenergoprom executive director Kirill Komarov told The Observer: "There are some negotiations, or rather contracts, with British companies"
Product placement
So ITV have finally persuaded the Gov to allow product placement ... now just the small task of attracting and persuading viewers.
