Bon Jovi top US album countdown

Bon Jovi recently played at the O2 arena in London

Rock group Bon Jovi have topped the US album charts for the first time in nearly 20 years.

Lost Highway is the band's third number one album since New Jersey reached number one in 1988. In 1987 Slippery When Wet also went to number one.

The White Stripes' latest release, Icky Thump, made its chart debut at number two, followed by Brad Paisley's fifth studio album, 5th Gear.

Singer Toby Keith slid to number four and Paul McCartney fell to number five.

On Sunday Bon Jovi opened London's O2 arena - the former Millennium Dome - to the public.

Tickets for the gig, which marked the band's first indoor concert for 15 years, sold out in less than 30 minutes in April.

They performed hits such as You Give Love A Bad Name and Keep the Faith.

The band, who were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame last year, have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide.
