Take That's Progress tops UK album chart

Progress is the group's fifth number one studio album

Take That's new album Progress has topped the UK chart, achieving the biggest opening week sales of any record for 13 years.

The Official Charts Company said it sold almost 520,000 albums - more than the rest of the top 10 put together.

It is the band's first album since reuniting with Robbie Williams.

The last album to exceed sales of 500,000 copies was Oasis's Be Here Now, which sold 663,000 in its first chart week in 1997.

Progress is the group's fifth number one studio album out of the six they have released.

Their 2006 reunion album, Beautiful World, sold 2.5 million copies in the UK and clung to the number one spot for eight weeks.

In 2008, The Circus sold one million copies in just 18 days. To date it is nearing sales of 2.2 million.

Progress was one of five new albums to enter the top 10 this week, with Rihanna's Loud coming in at number two.
