This week The Killers latest album, Day & Age, managed to fend off competition from the Guns ‘n’ Roses’, Chinese Democracy to claim the number one spot in the UK Album Chart this week. Guns ‘n’ Roses came a close second.  Third place was taken by the 2007 X-factor runner-up, Rhydian. Fellow X-factor contestant, Leona Lewis was pushed down the chart to number four.
