Leona has scored a rare double in the U.S. by claiming the top spot on both the album and singles charts.

“Bleeding Love” was ousted from the number one position by Mariah Carey’s track “Touch My Body” – but now Lewis has toppled Carey, just a day after becoming the first British female solo artist to debut at number one on the Billboard album chart.

By scoring the double, Lewis becomes the first Brit to top both charts in the same week since Phil Collins in 1990.

The Carey/Lewis chart war is expected to continue next week, when the Carey is expected to take over at the top of the album chart with her new release E=MC2.
