Nelly lands US number one and two

Nelly's real name is Cornell Haynes

Rapper Nelly has hit the number one and two spot in the US album chart after releasing two albums in the same week.

The R'n'B star opted to release two separate albums rather than a double one, with Suit debuting at number one, and Sweat at number two.

The last time an artist had a number one and two album was Guns and Roses in 1991 with Use Your Illusion I and II.

Suit is Nelly's third number one album, following on from the success of Country Grammar and Nellyville.

By taking over the top spots he knocked country star Alan Jackson off the top, with his album What I Do falling to number seven.

Last week's number two, Tim Graw, slipped to number three, while Ray Charles' Genius Loves Company fell down one to four.
