Rihanna returns to the top of British charts after nine months

Rihanna is celebrating after reclaiming the number one spot on the British album charts nine months after the release of her new album Talk That Talk.

The album has been in the top 40 for 38 weeks since its release in November (11) - but only two of those weeks were at number one.

Celebrating the victory on Twitter.com, the Umbrella hitmaker cooed, "9months later bro."

Rapper Plan B stays put at two on the new chart with Ill Manors, while Maroon 5's Overexposed climbs a spot to three.

Emeli Sande's Our Version of Events drops a place to four, but she is expected to make up ground next week after performing twice at the Olympic Games closing ceremony on Sunday night (12Aug12).
