Man Man's Rabbit Habits drops a spot to #8, followed by the six-place tumble of Plants And Animals' Parc Avenue to #9 and the two-spot drop to #10 of Los Campesinos!' Hold On Now, Youngster...

Looking at the rest of the top 50, there are nine albums which have been there for 10 weeks or more, led by the 15 weeks for Jason Collett's Here's To Being Here, which drops eight places to #31 this week. Black Mountain's In The Future tumbles 20 spots to #35 after 14 weeks. D'Urbervilles' We Are The Hunters has lasted 13 weeks and drops a notch to #21. Cadence Weapon's Afterparty Babies has hung around for 12 weeks and slips down three places to #28.
Among the lower new entries are Cut Copy's In Ghost Colours at #16, Animal Collective's Water Curses at #22, Four Tet's Ringer at #26 and the Snailhouse tribute, Do You Want To Talk All Night, at #27. Other notable debuts include Flight Of The Conchords' eponymous release at #29, Jamie Lidell's Jim at #39 and Islands' Arm's Way at #43.
A couple of the specialty charts have new #1s, as DL Incognito's A Captured Moment In Time takes over top spot on the Hip-Hop chart and Brad Mehldau Trio's Live rises two places to grab #1 on Jazz/Blues. The three other genre-specific top 10 charts have the same #1s as last week: Cursed's III: Architects Of Trouble on Metal/Punk; Crystal Castles' on Electronic for a seventh straight week; and the Umalali: Garifuna Women's Project collaboration/compilation on World/Folk.
