Question: Which singer's 1998 album went on to become a UK chart topper?
Context: 1992 – The Love Album is an album by Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine.  Released on Chrysalis Records, following the demise of Rough Trade Records, the album achieved commercial success and became the band's first and only number 1 album in the UK album charts.  It also contained their only Top 10 hit, "The Only Living Boy in New Cross", which reached #7 in the UK charts.  The album also included two further hit singles, "Do Re Me So Far So Good" (UK chart #22) and "The Impossible Dream" (UK chart #21).  Initially, an earlier single, "After The Watershed" (UK chart #11) was also programmed to be included in the album track listing, but due to an injunction from the publishers of The Rolling Stones (who took exception to a line in the lyric quoted from their 60s hit single "Ruby Tuesday"), resulting in the band having to credit the composition to Morrison / Carter / Richards / Jagger, it was omitted from the album as they otherwise would have had to forego publishing royalties for every copy of the album sold. "Puttin' On the Style" was a 1957 hit for skiffle artist Lonnie Donegan.  It was recorded live at the London Palladium and released as a double A-side along with "Gamblin' Man" and reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in June and July 1957, where it spent two weeks in this position.  It was Donegan's second consecutive No. 1 in the UK and the UK's first double-sided chart topper.  It was the last UK chart-topper to be solely issued in 78rpm format, as Pye Nixa did not release it on 7" single at the time (although it was later re-released as a 7").  The song was collected in the Catskills by Norman Cazden from Ernie Sagar in 1945 but it is probably quite a bit older.  Another version has also been collected from oral tradition in West Virginia. "Stuck on You" is a song written by and originally recorded by Lionel Richie.  It was the fourth single released from his second studio album "Can't Slow Down" released on May 1, 1984, by Motown, and achieved chart success, particularly in the U.S. and the UK, where it peaked at number three and number 12, respectively.  The song differs from Richie's other compositions, as it displays a country pop influence rather than R&B.  As such, the single's cover photo shows Richie wearing a cowboy hat, and indeed, "Stuck on You" peaked at number 24 on the country chart.  "Stuck on You" reached number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, Richie's seventh chart topper.  The song marks Lionel Richie's country music debut. The Ultimate Collection is a greatest hits album by American folk singer Paul Simon.  It is the first album to include a selection of Simon & Garfunkel's best-known songs as well as the biggest hits of Simon's own solo career.  The album debuted at number one the UK Albums Chart and the Scottish Albums Chart, giving Simon his first UK chart topper since 1990. Born in the Echoes is the eighth studio album by English electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers, released on 17 July 2015 by Astralwerks in the United States and by Virgin EMI Records in the United Kingdom.  It was their first studio album since 2010's "Further".  The album debuted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart, marking the duo's sixth chart topper and making them the dance act with the most number-one albums ever in the UK. Colm Mac Con Iomaire is an Irish musician from Blackrock, County Dublin.  He plays violin and sings vocals with rock group The Frames.  Mac Con Iomaire has been involved with The Frames since 1990 and has been a touring member of The Swell Season since 2006 (albums "Once" and "Strict Joy").  He also played violin on David Gray's 1998 album "White Ladder" (on the track "Silver Lining"). Growing Up in Public is the second album by English actor and singer Jimmy Nail, produced by Nail, Guy Pratt and Danny Schogger and released in 1992 on the Warner Music UK label.  Included is the single "Ain't No Doubt", a UK chart topper for three weeks in July 1992.  Three further singles were released, of which only "Laura" charted at #58.  "Growing Up in Public" reached #2 on the UK Albums Chart. David Gray (born 13 June 1968) is an English singer-songwriter.  Gray released his first studio album in 1993 and received worldwide attention after the release of "White Ladder" six years later.  It was the first of three UK chart-toppers in six years for Gray, of which the latter two also made the Top 17 in the US.  "White Ladder" became the fifth best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK.  Gray has been nominated for four Brit Awards – twice for Best British Male.

Nelly's album "Nellyville" opened up with his highest first week sales of his career which logged on with huge sales of 714,000 copies in its first week alone, which beat his sales of his debut album "Country Grammar", which opened up with first week sales of 235,000 copies.
