Michael Jackson's latest posthumous album Xscape has debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart.

The album - which features "contemporised" versions of tracks recorded before Jackson's death - beats The Black Keys and Foxes to the top spot on this week's chart.



Xscape becomes Jackson's tenth UK number one album. It serves as the follow-up to 2010 posthumous release Michael, which peaked at number four.

The Black Keys have scored their highest-charting album to date in the UK with Turn Blue, which is a new entry at number two. The album is the eighth LP from the US duo, and their first since 2011's El Camino.

Paloma Faith's third album A Perfect Contradiction rises one spot to three following the success of her latest single 'Only Love Hurts Like This'. Paolo Nutini's Caustic Love drops one place to four.



Meanwhile, Foxes' debut album Glorious is a new entry at number five, and Nick Mulvey is a new entry at ten with his debut LP First Mind.

Tori Amos's 14th studio album, Unrepentant Geraldines, debuts at number 13, while Swedish band Little Dragon are new at number 14 with Nabuma Rubberband.

Blondie's 40th anniversary collection, Blondie 4(0)-Ever is new at 16. The package features their new album Ghosts of Download, as well as re-recordings of some of their best-known hits.

The Common Linnets, who finished second in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, are a new entry at number 40 with their self-titled debut album.
