Number one in six countries for the second week in a row, Pink Floyd legend David Gilmour's fourth solo album Rattle That Lock actually remains at the summit only in Belgium (both Flanders and Wallonia) and New Zealand. Adding debuts atop the charts in The Czech Republic, Norway, Poland and Portugal, it retreats 1-3 in France, Italy and The UK and 1-8 in Sweden. It also debuts at number two in Australia, Austria, Canada and Switzerland, number three in Denmark and Finland, number five in The USA, number six in Spain and number 12 in Japan. Finally, it advances 5-2 in Croatia and 22-10 in Hungary, while falling 2-4 in The Netherlands, 2-6 in Germany, 2-7 in Ireland and 38-89 in South Korea.
Keith Richards' third solo album, Crosseyed Heart, also impresses for the second week in a row.

The Book Of Souls remains at number one in Croatia, Greece and Hungary for Iron Maiden, but loses pole position in The Czech Republic (1-2) and Finland (1-4).

New Order have their highest charting album since 1993 in the UK with Music Complete - their all-new tenth studio effort and not a comprehensive compilation, as its title might suggest - debuting at number two.
