Steps have made a winning return to the top of the UK chart album with their Ultimate Collection. Their Step One and Buzz records also had broken the top five in 1998 and 2000 respectively.
The Ultimate Collection is the newly reunited group’s third UK number one, after their 1999 sophomore LP Steptacular and a previous Greatest Hits collection from 2001.
The runner-up position this week goes to Ed Sheeran & +, which advances three spots, mid-week number one artists Evanescence settle for fourth place with their self-titled third studio album, and earlier chart champion James Morrison completes the top five place with The Awakening.
Meanwhile, the backend of the Top 10 is given a complete refresh with Cee Lo Green’s “The Lady Killer” climbing to eight from last week’s 18 to finish behind new entries Daydream by Katherine Jenkins and Future History by Jason Derulo.
Ryan Adams scores a personal chart best with latest release ‘Ashes & Fire’ at nine place, while music-star Cliff Richard caps-off the bestsellers with his 39th Top 10 LP Soulicious.

1. Steps: ‘The Ultimate Collection’
