Manilow Scores His Second Us Number One Album

Barry Manilow has scored his second US album chart number one with a new collection of 1950s hits.

The crooner's The Greatest Songs Of The Fifties is his eighth top ten album on the Billboard chart.

The CD sold 156,000 copies in its first week of release to keep former chart-topper Mary J Blige off the top of the chart.

The R+B queen's The Breakthrough album enjoyed another great sales week to climb back up the charts to number two.

Former Broadway, New York star Heather Headley debuts her new album, IN MY MIND, at number five, while rockers Train enter the new chart at number 10 with their album, FOR ME, IT'S YOU.
