Ludacris pips Gorillaz to US album No. 1

Gorrilaz have been beaten to number one on the US Billboard 200 by Ludacris.
The rapper's latest effort Battle Of The Sexes sold 137,000 copies to take the top spot. The Damon Albarn-helmed band managed 112,000 units to nab number two with new album Plastic Beach.
According to Nielsen SoundScan, the cartoon group's third LP, which features a host of cameos including Snoop Dogg and Lou Reed, is their highest-charting album in the US after second record Demon Days scaled to number six in 2006.
Elsewhere, Jimi Hendrix's reissue package Valleys Of Neptune was a new entry at number four and Lady Antebellum's Need You Now fell from the top to number three.
The self-titled debut from Broken Bells, a duo composed of Danger Mouse and the Shins' lead singer James Mercer, also charted inside the top ten at number seven
