LONDON--The Beatles soared straight to the top of the Official U.K. Album Chart on Sunday (11/18) with their new compilation album "1," which incorporates 27 of the legendary group's American and British No. 1 hits.

As a result of the Beatles' expected success, Westlife's second LP "Coast to Coast" was knocked to the No. 2 position while Texas [ tickets ]' "The Greatest Hits" rested for a second week at No. 3. Meanwhile, Steps' new album "Buzz" moved up two spots from No. 6 to No. 4.

Other new releases in the Top 10 included Oasis [ tickets ]' live album "Familiar to Millions" at No. 5 and Elton John's "One Night Only: The Greatest Hits" at No. 7.

The Offspring's "Conspiracy of One" made a fair show by debuting at No. 12 and Sade's first new LP in eight years, "Lovers Rock," debuted at No. 18.

The slip of Spice Girls [ tickets ]' third album from No. 2 to No. 16 after only one week on the chart proved that the group's U.K. fan base is waning. Marilyn Manson and actress-turned-pop-singer Martine McCutcheon also had relatively weak debuts for their new LPs: Manson's "Holy Wood" entered the chart at No. 23 and McCutcheon's "Wishing" entered at No. 25.

The Official U.K. Singles Chart also saw a new No. 1 entry this week as teen country singer Leann Rimes' "Can�t Fight the Moonlight" knocked A1's "Same Old Brand New You" down to No. 8 after a week. The second highest entry this week came from French dance group Daft Punk's "One More Time," debuting at No. 2.

Other Top 10 entries included Artful Dodger's "Please Don�t Turn Me On" at No. 4 and Darude's "Feel the Beat" at No. 5. Staten Island rappers Wu-Tang Clan also had their highest U.K. singles-chart entry to date as their new "Gravel Pit" single debuted at No. 6.

Notable Top 20 entries included Savage Garden's "Hold Me" at No. 16 and Lucy Pearl's "Don�t Mess with My Man" at No. 20.
