Rocker Noel Gallagher has shot to the top of the U.K. albums chart with 2015's fastest-selling release to date.

The former Oasis star and his band High Flying Birds enter at number one with Chasing Yesterday, shifting 89,000 units in its first week of release. The project is their second chart-topper following their self-titled 2011 debut.

Chasing Yesterday replaces Sam Smith's Grammy-winning In The Lonely Hour, which slips to two, ahead of Ed Sheeran's X at three.

Kelly Clarkson is another new entry at six with Piece By Piece, and duo The Shires makes U.K. chart history by becoming the first British country band to score a top 10 album with Brave.

Meanwhile, electro pop group Years & Years' new track King ends Ellie Goulding's four-week run atop the U.K. singles countdown.

Love Me Like You Do falls to two and Rihanna's Kanye West and Paul MCCartney collaboration FourFiveSeconds climbs one place to three.
