A Number 1 is always worth the wait, and Coldplay's patience has been rewarded today as they finally score a seventh chart-topping album with A Head Full Of Dreams.

The news comes days after the band's dazzling performance at the Super Bowl 50's halftime show, where they shared the stage with Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson and Beyoncé.

The album's climb to the summit gives them a straight run of Number 1 studio albums since Parachutes topped the Official Albums Chart in 2000.

A Head Full of Dreams was released back in December 2015, where it was kept off Number 1 by the mighty force of Adele's 25. This week, though, it's Adele's turn to sit in second place as she climbs two spots to Number 2.

Last week's Number 1, David Bowie's hits collection Best Of Bowie, slides to Number 3, while Justin Bieber's Purpose nudges back up one to Number 4 and Bowie's Blackstar falls three places to 5.
