LEWIS SMASHES ALL-TIME RECORD WITH DEBUT ALBUM

Singer LEONA LEWIS has set a British record for the fastest-selling debut album of all time.

Lewis' Spirit sold more than 375,000 copies in seven days, some 12,000 more than rockers the Arctic Monkeys' 2006 release Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.

But Oasis still have the overall record for the fastest selling British album, selling 813,000 copies in 1997.

As well as having the top album, the 22-year-old X Factor winner's track Bleeding Love is still No 1 in the U.K. singles charts.

Spirit is now the fourth fastest-selling album of all time, beneath Be Here Now, Coldplay's X+Y, and Dido's Life For Rent.

In a week of new entries in the album chart, the Spice Girls' Greatest Hits compilation made its debut at number two, while Led Zeppelin collection Mothership entered at number four.
