The band, who released the record last Monday (April 9), topped the midweek chart on Wednesday (11), outselling nearest rival Adele's 21 by 300 copies.
But Adele pulled back the deficit to return to assume her usual place at the top of the rundown, with last week's chart-topper, Nicki Minaj/'s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, taking the Number Two spot, according to the Official Charts Company.
The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood has apologised to his bandmates after he was quoted as saying that the band will start recording new material this month.

Paul McCartney unveiled three new videos for his track "My Valentine" at a world premiere held by his daughter Stella in Los Angeles on Friday [April 13].

Rod Stewart pulled out of his scheduled performance with his old band, The Faces, at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame last night [April 14] after contracting 'flu.
It would have been the first time the surviving members have played live in public since Stewart was awarded the Lifetime Achievement honour at the Brit awards in 1993.
But in a joint statement with organisers, Stewart said he was "absolutely devastated" to be missing out. Simply Red man Mick Hucknall stood in for Stewart when the Faces play a short set at the ceremony.

He said: "I found out I had long-term liver disease. My liver was pretty gone, basically."
