James Blunt once tweeted that if we thought 2016 was bad, we'd better prepare ourselves for his new album in 2017... Self-deprecating as he may be, apparently some people want to listen to his music, The Afterlove enters at No. 7.

Higher up at No. 3 are Take That, whose eighth album Wonderland sits at No. 3. The second album to feature the band as a trio, it's pretty much business as usual for longstanding British pop band.

Elsewhere, Depeche Mode's Spirit stays high on the 11th spot and great news for Marlene Enright, who enters the Top 30 with her album Placemats and Second Cuts.
