Christina Aguilera won her second U.K. No. 1 album and the British singles chart was overrun by soccer-related releases, as the Official Charts Company’s latest sales data was unveiled.
Aguilera’s “Bionic” (RCA/Sony Music Entertainment) is her second consecutive studio album to debut at the top, after “Back To Basics” in 2006. The 2008 compilation “Keeps Gettin’ Better” peaked at No. 10. “Bionic” outran fellow Sony act Alicia Keys’ “The Element of Freedom” (J), which climbed back 5-2 in its 26th chart week. Keys was among the performers at the televised World Cup Kick-Off Concert in South Africa on June 10.
