The feat puts the group on par with The Rolling Stones and Madonna, who also boast 10 chart-toppers. Elvis Presley had 11 number ones, while The Beatles had 15.

The album is also expected to end Taylor Swift's 11-week reign at the top of the U.S. charts later this week (beg09Mar09).

In the U.K. U2 topple the Prodigy's comeback album, Invaders Must Die, while Kings of Leon's Only By The Night rounds out the top three.

Meanwhile, rapper Flo Rida's Right Round has knocked Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You off the top of the singles chart. The American Idol star's tune falls to four on the new countdown.

The Saturdays' Just Can't Get Enough and Poker Face by Lady GaGa help make up the new top three.
