British singer Jamie Lawson beats mentor to top UK album chart

LONDON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - British singer Jamie Lawson's new
self-titled album went straight into Number 1 on the British
album chart, the Official Charts Company said on Friday, while
DJ KDA held off British pop group One Direction to top the
singles chart.
Lawson's album "Jamie Lawson" finished with almost double
the sales of his musical mentor Ed Sheeran's "x", which was
unchanged at No. 2 after 70 consecutive weeks in the Top 10.
Lawson is the first act signed to British singer Sheeran's
new record label Gingerbread Man Records.
London-based DJ KDA's "Turn The Music Louder (Rumble)" gave
him his first Number 1 single, finishing only 2,000 sales ahead
of One Direction's "Perfect."
The Weeknd's "The Hills" was up two at No. 3 on the singles
chart.
Elsewhere, 59-year-old Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi
scored the highest charting album of his career with "Elements"
at Number 12.
