Japanese Idol Group Hey! Say! Jump! top the World’s best-selling Album Chart with their fourth studio effort 'Jumping Car'. It sold 177.000 copies in its initial week, according to Oricon. 

Hey! Say! JUMP is a nine-member Japanese idol group under the Japanese talent agency Johnny & Associates. The name Hey! Say! refers to the fact that all the members were born in the Heisei and JUMP is an acronym for Johnny's Ultra Music Power.

Omar Samuel Pasley, better known by his stage name OMI, is a Jamaican-born singer. OMI was born in the parish of Clarendon, Jamaica, and is currently signed to Ultra music, a part of Sony Music.

"Cheerleader", a reggae fusion song, was written and produced by OMI and C. Dillon, and originally released in 2012 through Oufah Records. The Song was remixed by Felix Jaehn and rereleased through Ultra Music on 19 May 2014. The remix peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. "Cheerleader" stayed for weeks atop the Dutch, German and French charts and made history when it topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks in a row, marking the longest consecutive period any Jamaican artist has held that position on the official UK chart.

It's a little sensation, 13 years after the last studio album 'October Road', the 67 year-old legendary American singer / songwriter James Taylor released his 17th album and lands the first global number one in his long career! 'Before This World' opens at the summit with 123.000 sales, 95.900 of it in the USA alone, another 13.500 in United Kingdom. Five-time Grammy Award winner James Taylor began his career in 1970 with the song 'Fire And Ice' (no.9 in the week 49, 1970) and landed the biggest hit some months later with a cover of the Carole King classic 'You've Got A Friend' (no.4 in the week 31, 1971). For this song he won a Grammy Award for the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 1971. His 'Greatest Hits' compilation from 1976 peaked at no.15 in the US Billboard Charts. However it became a steady seller for many years and sold more than 11 million copies to date in this country alone. Back to this week's hitlist: shy behind James Taylor follows last week's no.1 album, 'Drones' by Muse with 122.000 sales, a 66% decline compared to the initial week. Behind at no.3 lands the second highest debut of the week, 'The Original High' by American singer and stage actor Adam Lambert. It's his third album and starts with 69.000 sales globally, 41.800 of it in the USA, another 9.500 in United Kingdom and 4.800 in Canada. Ed Sheeran's six-million seller 'X' is now exactly one year on the tally and makes an impressive jump back from no.11 to no.5 with another 59.000 sales. On the year-to-date chart 'X' ranks still at no.2 with 2.565.000 sales, behind Taylor Swift's '1989' with 2.944.000 sales.
