Craig David's comeback album tops chart

Craig David has scored his first number one album for 16 years.

Craig David held off competition from Bon Iver, The Shires and Van Morrison
The singer's sixth studio album, his first since 2010, outsold its nearest rival - Bon Iver's 22, A Million - by 4,500 copies.
David said: "Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I don't know what's going on right now."
He described scoring the second number one album of his career with Following My Intuition as "the most amazing feeling".

David had last hit the top spot with Born To Do It in 2000.

"I'm seeing two generations connecting - the people who have been with me since 1999 and the crew who are just discovering me, both connecting on the same music," he said.
