Muse 'Drones' fly to top of album charts

Rockers Muse are back at the top of the album charts with their latest offering, "Drones".

The three-piece band replaced Florence And The Machine after just one week at number one with "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful".

Muse previously topped the chart with "Absolution", "Black Holes And Revelations", "The Resistance" and "The 2nd Law", dating back to 2003.

"Drones" sold nearly 73,000 copies over the last week.

Meanwhile new supergroup FFS -- comprising members of Franz Ferdinand and Sparks -- entered the album chart at 17 with their eponymous debut.

Pete Townshend's "Classic Quadrophenia" -- a symphonic version of The Who's landmark 1973 rock opera -- finished the week at 32.

In the singles charts, US singer Jason Derulo remains on top for a third week with "Want To Want Me".
