Plus Basshunter and Britney Spears hold on in the singles countdown

Adele has gone straight to the top of the UK albums charts tonight (February 3) with ’19’.

The singer’s debut album has gone in at Number One.

Meanwhile in the singles countdown the London singer has remained second with 'Chasing Pavements', just behind Basshunter who holds on to the Number One spot again with ‘Now You're Gone’.

Hot Chip are at Number Six with ’Ready For The Floor’, while One Night Only are at Nine with ’Just For Tonight’.

Britney Spears’ trouble week – which has seen her end-up in hospital at her psychiatrist’s request – does not appear to have her hurt her sales as she remains in the top ten, at Number Seven with ’Piece Of Me’

1. Basshunter – ‘Now You're Gone’
2. Adele – ‘Chasing Pavements’
3. Nickelback – ‘Rockstar’
