US band Haim have gone straight to the top of the charts with their debut album.
The Californian sisters scooped the number one spot with their first full release, Days Are Gone, according to the Official Charts Company. They shot to fame in January when they won the BBC's Sound of 2013 poll.
Despite taking an early lead in the midweek charts, by Friday of this week, there were just 28 sales between Haim and JT, which the 'Falling' stars closed over the weekend, emerging as this week's album chart champions. Haim are No.1, Justin Timberlake No.2, while last week's chart topper, Mechanical Bull by Kings Of Leon, drops to No.3. Arctic Monkeys' AM is at No.4 and Drake's Nothing Was The Same is at No.5.
Alter Bridge enter at No.6 with Fortress and Dizzee Rascal debuts at No.10 with his new album, The Fifth. Sub Focus is new at No.11 with Torus, Moby enters at No.35 with Innocents and Metallica's new movie soundtrack, Through The Never, enters at No.26. Status Quo enter at No.37 with The Frantic Four Reunion and Kids In Glass Houses are at No.40 with Peace.
On the single's chart, One Republic claim their first ever UK No.1 with their current hit, Counting Stars, while new boyband The Vamps enter at No.2. Jason Derulo drops to No.3 with 'Talk Dirty' and Katy Perry's 'Roar' slips to No.4. Chase & Status score a new hit at No.5 with their release, 'Count On Me'.
