Michael Jackson has held on at the top of the UK album chart for the third straight week, according to the Official Charts Company.
The Essential, Jackson's greatest hits album, is at number one for the second week. Number Ones spent a week at the top directly after the singer's death.
Lungs by Florence and the Machine claimed the number two slot, with the biggest debut album so far this year.
It is the only album in the top five not featuring Jackson.
The 22-year-old newcomer picked up this year's prestigious Critics Choice BRIT Award.
The remainder of the top five is made up by Jackson's albums, Off The Wall, Thriller and The Motown Years.
In the last week, Jackson releases have accounted for almost another 600,000 sales, which brings the total number of Jackson singles and albums sold since his death to around 1.5 million.
New entries
In the singles chart, Euro-dance act Cascada held the number one slot with their eighth hit single Evacuate The Dancefloor. The new album, which shares the same title, entered the chart at eight.
La Roux's Bulletproof is this week's number two, and Jackson's Man In The Mirror dropped one place to number three.
The highest new entry in the singles chart was Diamond Rings by Chipmunk featuring Emeli Sande at number six.
