The Script Beats Barbra Streisand To U.K. No. 1 — billboard.com

Dublin pop-rock trio the Script have made it three U.K. No. 1s from four albums, after their new set No Sound Without Silence debuted at the top yesterday (Sept. 21). On the singles chart, British drum ‘n’ bass duo Sigma achieved their second No. 1 single with “Changing” (3 Beat/All Around The World), featuring Paloma Faith.  The Script topped the U.K. bestsellers with their self-titled debut album in 2008 and the 2010 follow-up Science & Faith. 2012’s #3 stopped in runner-up spot, but the new release restored their fortunes, and in the process prevented Barbra Streisand’s duets album Partners (Columbia/Sony) from making a winning start. That came in at No. 2 as Sam Smith’s In The Lonely Hour (Capitol/Universal) fell from the summit to No. 3.
