Matt Cardle has secured a third week at the top of the UK singles chart with his debut track 'When We Collide'.
The X Factor champion's tune became the first chart-topper of 2011 - having already won the titles of last year's Christmas number one and the last number one of 2010 - after holding Rihanna and Drake's 'What's My Name' into second place for a third consecutive week.
The only other new face in this week's top five is Katy Perry's 'Firework', which rises from eight to five, while Olly Murs returns to the top ten after temporarily dropping to 12 last week.
The stability at the top of the chart is not replicated between positions 11 to 20, which are populated by a significant plummeter in the shape of Katy B's 'Lights On', down seven after arriving at four last week, and a total of six climbers.
The most notable of these are Mike Posner's 'Cooler Than Me', Jessie J's 'Do It Like A Dude' and The Wanted's 'Lose My Mind', which after settling for spots in the bottom half of the top 40 last week advance seven, three and ten places respectively to 17, 18 and 19.
The top ten in full:
1. (1) Matt Cardle: 'When We Collide'
2. (2) Rihanna ft. Drake: 'What's My Name?'
3. (3) Black Eyed Peas: 'The Time (Dirty Bit)'

Rihanna has notched up the fifth UK number one single of her career with 'What's My Name?'
The Barbadian singer has become the first female artist in history to achieve five number ones in consecutive years, starting with mammoth hit 'Umbrella' in 2007. The only other performer to have achieved this feat is the legendary Elvis Presley, who scored a number one in every year from 1959 to 1963.
Rihanna's success means that Matt Cardle dips to the runner-up spot this week with 'When We Collide', having successfully managed to hold his X Factor duet partner from the top of the chart for the last three weeks.
Katy B and Miss Dynamite yo-yo back from last week's 11 to their original position of four with 'Lights On', while Jessie J celebrates being named as the BBC's Sound Of 2011 by seeing her track 'Do It Like A Dude' rocket into the top ten for the first time, landing at five from 18.
Meanwhile, Rihanna continues her chart dominance as previous number one 'Only Girl (In The World)' and her David Guetta collaboration 'Who's That Chick?' hold steady at the back end of the top ten.
Looking beyond the upper section of the chart, Willow Smith's 'Whip My Hair' and Take That's 'The Flood' slip out of the top ten after losing four and seven places respectively to finish at 13 and 14.
The depths of the top 20, however, are this week home to three climbers in the form of 'The Flood' by Cheryl Cole, which is up 12 to 18, 'Raise Your Glass' by Pink, which rises from 21 to 19, and Alexis Jordan's 'Happiness', up four places to 20.
The top ten in full:
1. (2) Rihanna ft. Drake: 'What's My Name?'
2. (1) Matt Cardle: 'When We Collide'
3. (3) Black Eyed Peas: 'The Time (Dirty Bit)'
4. (11) Katy B ft. Miss Dynamite: 'Lights On'
5. (18) Jessie J: 'Do It Like A Dude'
6. (4) Ellie Goulding: 'Your Song'
7. (5) Katy Perry: 'Firework'
8. (8) Far East Movement: 'Like A G6'
9. (6) Rihanna: 'Only Girl (In The World)'

Bruno Mars has blasted his way to the top of the UK singles chart with new track 'Grenade'.
The Los Angeles-based performer netted the title of fastest-selling January single for 15 years, after shifting close to 150,000 copies of his sophomore solo effort. The last song to achieve bigger figures in the first month of the year was Babylon Zoo's 'Spaceman', which sold 383,000 back in 1996.
Only Help For Haiti charity track 'Everybody Hurts', Matt Cardle's 'When We Collide' and Cheryl Cole's 'Promise This' posted greater first week sales in 2010.
Settling for second place this week is Jessie J's 'Do It Like A Dude', a track which landed at five last week and the week before lingered at 18, while previous number one 'What's My Name' by Rihanna is bumped down to three.
Meanwhile, Adele leaps a massive 20 places to re-enter the top ten at seven with 'Make You Feel My Love'. The emotional ballad, first released in October 2008, has enjoyed a resurgence after being covered by several contestants on last year's X Factor and peaked at four back in October.
The reality show connection continues further down the rankings, as JLS and Tinie Tempah land at ten with 'Eyes Wide Shut', which in its current position becomes the boyband's lowest-charting single to date.
Tempah, who was this week nominated for four Brit Awards, also appears on the other side of the top ten with his Kelly Rowland collaboration 'Invincible', which is up one to 11.
Just behind is a triple bill of former top ten tracks - Rihanna's 'Only Girl (In The World)', Ellie Goulding's 'Your Song' and Katy Perry's 'Firework' - which slip to 12, 13 and 14 from last week's nine, six and seven respectively.
Additionally, Cee Lo Green climbs into the top 20 with 'It's OK', which is up four from last week's 24, while Martin Solveig and Dragonette also climb into the upper half of the chart after 'Hello' soars 11 spots to this week's 18.

1. (-) Bruno Mars: 'Grenade'

Bruno Mars has topped the UK singles chart for a second week with sophomore song 'Grenade'.
The Hawaii-born songwriter secured himself a rare chart double, after his debut LP Doo-Wops & Hooligans also exploded onto the album chart at pole position.
Mars becomes the first male solo artist to top both rankings since 2007, when Mika's debut album Life In Cartoon Motion joined his mega-selling single 'Grace Kelly' at number one.
This week's runner-up spot belongs to Adele and her comeback single 'Rolling In The Deep', while rap legend P Diddy and his R&B collective Diddy-Dirty Money enter at four with 'Coming Home'.
Following immediately behind are new entries in the shape of Wretch 32's 'Traktor' at five and 'Hold It Against Me', the record-breaking new release from pop icon Britney Spears, at six.
The mass of debuts in the top 10 come to an end with 'Like U Like', a collaboration between I'm A Celebrity star Aggro Santos and Girls Aloud's Kimberly Walsh, which is straight in at eight.
However, just missing out on a single digit entry is Roll Deep guest vocalist Jodie Connor, who lands at 14 with Wiley reunion 'Now Or Never'.
Meanwhile, the peak of the chart is reflected in the depths of the top 20, as Bruno Mars and Adele slip together to 18 and 19 with 'Just The Way You Are' and 'Make You Feel My Love'. Neither can replicate the crash of X Factor champion Matt Cardle, who plummets 15 places to 20 with winner's single 'When We Collide'.

Bruno Mars has soared to the top of the UK album chart with debut studio LP Doo-Wops & Hooligans.
The 'Billionaire' collaborator dragged Rihanna's Loud from pole position and battled a strong new entry in the shape of Ritual by White Lies to reach number one.
Plan B's The Defamation Of Strickland Banks and a climbing Ellie Goulding round out the top five, while Rumer's Seasons Of My Soul dives down six spots to ten with their arrival.
Also taking a heavy fall are chart veterans Mumford & Sons, whose Sigh No More falls from five to 11 in its 68th week of release.
By comparison, Mayhem by Imelda May, Olly Murs's self-titled album and Good Ol' Fashioned Love by The Overtones all experience a healthy boost, leaping a combined total of 20 places to become this week's 15, 16 and 17 respectively.

Ke$ha has scored her first UK singles chart number one with latest track 'We R Who We R'.
The 22-year-old star, who previously reached a chart high of four with her 2009 debut 'Tik Tok', zoomed to pole position after selling over 90,000 copies of her fifth release as a main artist. The song peaked at 95 in previous weeks based on downloads alone.
Meanwhile, two new entries grace the upper section of the chart this week, Chase & Status's 'Blind Faith' at five and 'Yeah 3x', the twelfth UK top 40 hit from R&B singer Chris Brown, at ten.
Elsewhere, positions 11-20 display risers aplenty, the most notable of which are Tinchy Stryder's 'Let It Rain', which is up 11 places from 25, album chart champion Adele and her 2008 ballad 'Make You Feel My Love', up four to 15, while Taio Cruz and Kylie Minogue's appropriately-titled 'Higher' lifts 20 places to 17.
Just missing out on a spot in the upper half of the chart is Pink, whose 'Perfect' is a new entry at 21, while Aggro Santos and Kimberly Walsh prove to be the lone exception to the largely unchanged top ten, as 'Like U Like' plummets to 22 after debuting at eight last week.

Adele has soared to the top of the UK album chart following record sales of her sophomore album 21.
The star's latest LP became the biggest-selling January release for five years after moving 208,000 copies in just seven days. The last record to better Adele's number was Whatever People Say I Am That’s What I’m Not, the 2006 debut from Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys.
Only one album in 2010 managed to match Adele by breaking the 200,000 sales barrier, the phenomenally successful Progress by Take That, which shifted over half a million copies in its first week.
In addition to her new entry, Adele's 2008 debut album 19 also makes a reappearance at the top of the chart, shooting from eight to four in its 98th week of release. The last act to boast both a number one album and a second LP in the top five at the same time was Irish band The Corrs, who sat in pole position and the runner-up spot on the album chart in April 1999.
Beyond Adele's dominance at the pinnacle of the rankings, Irish vocalist Imelda May and opera star Alfie Boe both peek into the top ten for the first time with their respective albums Mayhem and Bring Him Home. May is at seven from last week's 15, while Boe climbs 11 spots to nine.
By comparison, last week's highest new entry Ritual by White Lies takes a mighty tumble down the chart, crashing from three to 14.
The top ten in full:
1. (-) Adele: '21'
2. (1) Bruno Mars: 'Doo Wops & Hooligans'

Critically-acclaimed newcomer Jessie J has scored her first UK number one with sophomore single 'Price Tag'.
The 22-year-old, who in January was crowned the BBC's Sound Of 2011, rocketed straight to the top of the chart after taking the unconventional move of releasing her latest track to radio and retail on the same day.
The song's success also gives featured artist B.o.B his third UK chart-topper, following last year's 'Nothin' On You' and 'Airplanes'.
The second-highest new entry this week belongs to Enrique Iglesias, who scores his ninth UK top ten hit with Ludacris collaboration 'Tonight (I'm Loving You)' at five.
Jessie J also occupies a second spot in the top ten with her first single 'Do It Like A Dude', which drops one place to seven. The song made a somewhat underwhelming debut at 25 upon its release in November 2010, but has since reached a peak of two and clocked up sales of over 300,000 copies.
Just behind Jessie J are Taio Cruz and Kylie Minogue, who jump to eight from last week's 17 with 'Higher', while Chase & Status round out the top ten after falling five places with 'Blind Faith'.
In the double digits, Pink and Tinchy Stryder both celebrate massive advances up the rankings, as their respective tracks 'F**kin' Perfect' and 'Wonderman' gain ten and 26 spots to become this week's 11 and 14.
Rihanna manages to place three songs in the second quarter of the chart, as her former number one 'What's My Name?' at 15 and David Guetta team-up 'Who's That Chick?' at 16 are joined by her new release 'S&M', which rides the tide of controversy caused by its music video to this week's 20.

Adele has retained her place atop the UK album chart with her second LP 21.
The 'Rolling In The Deep' singer held strong at number one after posting impressive second week sales of over 135,000 copies, while her 2008 debut 19 is also a non-mover at four.
Second place this week goes to Chase & Status and No More Idols, while a posthumous Eva Cassidy collection, released under the title Simply Eva, lands at six.
Meanwhile, Rumer's Seasons Of My Soul continues to zip up and down the chart, this week climbing back into the top ten at nine after falling to 12 last Sunday.
Elsewhere, Plan B's The Defamation Of Strickland Banks, which arrived at number one back in April 2010, begins to plumge down the chart after falling six places to 16. By contrast, Take That's Progress and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream both enjoy minor boosts up the rankings, bumping up two spots to 12 and 17 respectively.
In the outer limits of the top 20, new releases from Skepta and Roberta Flack make themselves at home, with the former's Doin' It Again settling in at 19 and Flack landing right behind with Love Songs.

Jessie J's 'Price Tag' has fought off competition from Chipmunk and a phenomenal return from Lady GaGa to stay at number one on the UK singles chart.
The BBC Sound of 2011 winner had finished in second place to Chipmunk and Chris Brown's 'Champion' when the chart update was announced on Wednesday, but later retained the lead by a margin of 5% to achieve a second Sunday in pole position. Both tracks shifted over 90,000 copies this week.
Meanwhile, Lady GaGa's long-awaited comeback track 'Born This Way' soared into third after clocking up 60,000 sales in just 34 hours of release. The song had originally been due to come out today, but was unveiled on Friday afternoon at the 'Alejandro' singer's request.
Outside the top five, 'Champion' guest vocalist Chris Brown's comeback continues to gain momentum as 'Yeah 3x' climbs three places to this week's six, while former number one 'We R Who We R' by Ke$ha slips behind him at seven from its previous position of three.
Despite holding steady at the top of the chart, Jessie J sees her debut single 'Do It Like A Dude' fall back out of the top ten to 12, one place behind the artist it was originally intended for, Rihanna, who advances nine spots with the controversial 'S&M'.
Other fallers this week include Chase & Status with 'Blind Faith', down four to 14, Tinie Tempah and Ellie Goulding's 'Wonderman', which is at 18 from last week's 14, and 'Traktor' by Wretch 32, which crashes eight positions to 20.

Adele has notched up a third week at pole position on the UK album chart after outselling the rest of the top five combined.
21 added another 130,000 copies to its tally over the last seven days, making Adele the first UK female artist to have an album at number one for more than two weeks since Susan Boyle and her 2009 debut I Dreamed A Dream.
New entries on the chart this week include Computers And Blues, the final album from The Streets at eight, while James Blake - who finished runner-up to singles chart champion Jessie J in the BBC Sound Of 2011 contest - lands at nine with his self-titled debut record.
Just behind them is the phenomenally successful Progress by Take That, which climbs up three spaces to return to the top ten in its 13th week of release.
Elsewhere, the run-up to Valentine's Day sees Roberta Flack and Michael Bublé experience significant boosts in sales, as the former's Love Songs jumps nine places to 11, while Bublé's Crazy Love is at 20 from last week's 25, 69 weeks after its release.
Sandwiched between them is another romantic record, UB40's 2009 compilation Love Songs, which makes a triumphant return to the top 40 at 16.
However, Ellie Goulding and Cee Lo Green both take mighty tumbles down the chart, as Lights and The Lady Killer fall seven and eight places respectively to 14 and 18.
The top ten in full:
1. (1) Adele: '21'
2. (3) Bruno Mars: 'Doo Wops & Holligans'

Adele has snatched the UK singles chart top spot away from Jessie J with Brit Award crowd-pleaser 'Someone Like You'.
The London-born singer soared to pole position with the 21 track following her tearful performance at Tuesday night's ceremony, which sparked a mass of downloads significant enough to knock last week's number one 'Price Tag' and midweek ruler Lady GaGa down the rankings. The rendition also helped pull her comeback single 'Rolling In The Deep' up a spot to four.
As well as Adele's Brits-inspired success, several of the night's biggest winners have experienced significant surges in popularity on this week's chart. Reaping the biggest reward is Rihanna, whose 'S&M' is launched into the top ten for the first time at six following her 'International Female' win, while Tinie Tempah, who took home two prizes at the event, sees his JLS collaboration 'Eyes Wide Shut' reach a new peak of eight, seven weeks after its debut.
Over 90,000 downloads of the ceremony's live performances - such as Take That's 'Kidz' and Plan B's 'She Said/Praying' mash-up - have been purchased in the four days since their release.
Geoff Taylor, chief executive of the BPI, stated: "This year's Brits showed that Britain continues to shine brightly with new musical talent. Adele's breathtaking performance has deservedly taken her to number one, and all the winners and performers have seen a boost in sales.
"This is good news for the business, but also for good causes, as all proceeds from the Brits performances go to charity for the first month."
Meanwhile, former number one Ke$ha drops out of the top ten with 'We R Who We R', which is this week's 11, and Far East Movement score the second-highest new entry on the chart with 'Rocketeer' at 14.
A good showing at the Brits also helps Cee Lo Green rise 16 places up the listings to 19 with 'Forget You', while You Me At Six & Chiddy just miss out on a place in the top half of the chart with 'Rescue Me' at 21.

Adele has fought off competition from a slew of Brit Award winners to keep 21 atop the UK album chart for a fourth week.
The singles chart champion also sees her debut LP 19 return to the top five at four following her Brit Awards performance on Tuesday, making her the first living artist to have two top five hits in both the singles and album charts simultaneously since The Beatles back in 1964.
Martin Talbot of the Official Charts Company commented: "It is a fantastic week for both Adele and the Brits. For Adele to match a record of the Beatles is an extraordinary, historic achievement."
Also benefiting from this week's Brits are Mumford & Sons, who score their highest chart position to date with 'British Album Of The Year' Sigh No More, which leaps 17 places to two. Similarly, double winner Tinie Tempah zooms 19 positions to six with Disc-Overy, while Plan B celebrates picking up the 'Male Solo Artist' gong by seeing The Defamation Of Strickland Banks leap to seven from 24.
Just behind them at eight is a new entry from PJ Harvey entitled Let England Shake, while Cee Lo Green capitalises on his Brits win and Paloma Faith duet by hopping seven places to 11 with The Lady Killer.
Finally, re-entering the chart this week based on their awards success are Arcade Fire, whose 'International Album' gong sees The Suburbs land at 14, and 'British Female' winner Laura Marling, whose I Speak Because I Can rockets to 21 from last week's 80.

Adele has once again dominated the UK album chart, as her latest release 21 and debut LP 19 finish in first and second place on this week's rankings.
The London-born singer - who last Sunday became the first living act since The Beatles to appear twice in the top five of both the singles and album charts - notched up a fifth week in pole position with her sophomore record, while 19 climbed two places to the runner up spot in its 102nd week of release.
Adele becomes the first act to hold the top two places in the album chart since The Corrs in March 1999, when Talk On Corners and Forgiven, Not Forgotten landed at one and two.
Just behind Adele is the fourth compilation album from the Glee cast, which is the week's highest new entry at four, while Cee Lo Green, whose song 'Forget You' featured prominently in the Fox comedy's latest UK episode, climbs two spots to nine with The Lady Killer.
Rounding out the top 10 is Outta This World by JLS, which leaps comfortably back into the upper half of the chart after finishing at 20 last week.
Also bumping up the listings this week are Chase & Status, advancing one digit to 11 with No More Idols, while Pink makes it four climbers in a row with her Greatest Hits So Far, which is at 12 from last week's 19.
Brit Award favourites Take That slip six places after a temporary return to the top 10, landing one spot ahead of a new entry from Justin Bieber, Never Say Never: The Remixes, at 17.
The top 10 in full:
1. (1) Adele: '21'

Adele has continued to hold strong atop the UK singles chart with Brit Award show-stopper 'Someone Like You'.
Sales of the 21 track ran into six figures for a second consecutive week, eventually clocking in at an impressive total of more than 110,000 copies.
Martin Talbot of the Official Chart Company said: "Adele is proving to truly be the star of 2011. Her album has already become the must-have release of the year and for 'Someone Like You' to top 100,000 sales for two successive weeks demonstrates what a huge hit it is."
Former chart-topper 'Price Tag' by Jessie J is unmoved from the runner up spot, while Rihanna's S&M achieves a new peak of three after advancing from last week's six. Adele's first - and so far only - official single of 2011, 'Rolling In The Deep', is just behind them at four.
The highest new entry of the week belongs to Alexis Jordan, whose sophomore single 'Good Girl' makes an impressive arrival at six. However, Lady GaGa's much-hyped comeback appears to have got off to a faltering start, as 'Born This Way' crashes five places to eight in its third week.
Pink's 'F**king Perfect' finally cracks the top 10 after eight weeks by climbing three places from 13, while Cee Lo Green's 'Forget You' advances from 19 to 14 in its 22nd week on the chart.
Meanwhile, the Glee cast and guest vocalist Gwyneth Paltrow just miss out on a place in the top 20 with their 'Singing In The Rain/Umbrella' mash-up at 22, but the track becomes the show's highest charting UK release since season one's 'Halo/Walking On Sunshine'.

I bought the cd at the weekend.
Adele has finished at number one on the UK singles chart for a third consecutive week with 'Someone Like You'.
The second release from the star's mega-selling album 21 posted its strongest sales figures yet in the last seven days, shifting over 116,000 copies to stay at pole position ahead of 'Price Tag' by Jessie J and Rihanna's 'S&M', both of which are also unmoved from their places last Sunday.
Elsewhere, Lady GaGa's 'Born This Way' returns to the giddy heights of the list after a temporary tumble, finishing at four from last week's eight, while Adele is down a place at five with 'Rolling In The Deep'.
Also turning up in the top ten for a second time is Jessie J, whose 'Do It Like Dude' climbs three places from 13 in a result fuelled by the release of her long-awaited debut album Who You Are.
Lower down the numbers, Tiesto vs Diplo and Busta Rhymes shoot 21 places up the chart with 'C'mon (Catch 'Em By Surprise)' at 13, while Dr Dre comeback 'I Need A Doctor', which also features Eminem and Skylar Grey, is up nine places to 15 in its fifth week of release.
However, the reverse is true for JLS and Cee Lo Green, as 'Eyes Wide Shut' and 'Forget You' fall six and four places respectively, landing together at 17 and 18.
Finally, just beyond the top half of the chart are the Foo Fighters, who score the highest new entry of the week at 22 with 'Rope', their 25th UK release.

Adele has succeeded in sustaining a sixth week atop the UK album chart, as sales of her sophomore album 21 pass the million mark.
The 'Rolling In The Deep' singer made the milestone after adding another 180,000 copies to her tally this week, breaking the record for the quickest album to make it to seven figures between January and March. In addition to the unprecedented feat, Adele's debut record 19 continues to hang within the top five at four, while her track 'Someone Like You' remains at number one on the singles chart.
"We are witnessing a real superstar in the making," Martin Talbot of the Official Charts Company argued. "A million sales in six weeks for one album would be impressive enough but to have another album and two singles continuing to sell so strongly, plus heading both the Official Singles and Albums Charts simultaneously is truly exceptional."
Despite being unable to topple fellow Brit School graduate Adele from the top spot, critically-acclaimed newcomer Jessie J manages to make a strong impression with her debut LP Who You Are, which lands at two with first-week sales of 105,000.
Also arriving high on the ranking is former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye, who make it to third with their first album Different Gear, Still Speeding.
Other significant new entries on the chart this week include the debut records from Clare Maguire and Alexis Jordan, both of whom manage to blast their way through a strong top ten. Maguire's Light After Dark is straight in at seven, while America's Got Talent alumnus Jordan makes it to nine with her self-titled effort.
Further down the listings, a top ten full of newcomers results in every spot between 11 and 20 being occupied by a falling favourite. The most significant loss is collected by the Glee cast, who only recorded a single week in the upper part of the chart with their fourth compilation album, down seven to 11, while Tinie Tempah's Disc-Overy also stumbles out of the top ten, settling for 12 from last Sunday's seven.
Also suffering a substantial drop are Plan B, JLS and Rumer, all of which head down six places with their respective albums The Defamation Of Strickland Banks, Outta This World and Seasons Of My Soul - this week's 14, 16 and 19.

Adele has retained pole position on the UK singles chart for a fourth week with 'Someone Like You'.
The Brit School favourite held firm at the peak of an unchanged top four also containing Jessie J, Rihanna and Lady GaGa, while Wiz Khalifa rounds out the top five with his debut track 'Black And Yellow'.
However, 'Rolling In The Deep', the lead track from the London-born singer's album 21, drops out of the top five for the first time, after slipping four places to nine.
Just beyond are two climbers in the shape of 'I Need A Doctor' by Dre Dre, Eminem and Skylar Grey, which rises four places to a peak of 11, and Tinie Tempah's 'Wonderman', also progressing four at 12.
Gathering pace too is Avril Lavigne's 'What The Hell', which is up nine places to 16 in its eighth week of release, while the title of biggest climber this Sunday goes to Noah And The Whale and 'L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.', at 19 from its previous finish of 31.
Right behind, and just missing out on a spot in the upper half of the chart, are the week's second and third highest new entries, 'Heart On My Sleeve' by Olly Murs and 'Till The World Ends' by Britney Spears, which settle in at 21 and 22 respectively.

Adele has celebrated a seventh successive week at number one on the UK album chart.
The 'Someone Like You' singer shifted another 160,000 copies of her sophomore album 21, which last week crossed the million sales milestone.
The seven-day total is double that of this week's runner up, Elbow's fifth studio album Build A Rocket Boys!.
Also finishing high up on the rankings are veteran rockers REM, who score their 11th top ten album with Collapse Into Now, which is straight in at this week's five. The 'Everybody Hurts' hitmakers have sold almost 10 million albums in the UK alone throughout their extensive career.
Indie stars Noah And The Whale also clock up an impressive debut with their third studio album Last Night On Earth at eight, while the comeback record from Avril Lavigne, Goodbye Lullaby, lands immediately behind.
Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher's latest musical venture Beady Eye drop from three to ten with Different Gear, Still Speeding, finding an unlikely bedfellow in Daniel O'Donnell, whose Moon Over Ireland is a new entry at 11.
Olly Murs's self-titled debut album makes a hefty advance further down the double digits, rocketing 12 places from 29 to 17, while Tinie Tempah and Chase & Status are both down six with respective records Disc-Overy and No More Idols at 18 and 19.
Also slipping this week are Alexis Jordan and Clare Maguire, who both plummet into the 20s after arriving in the top ten last Sunday. Jordan's self-titled album is down to 22 from nine, while Maguire's Light After Dark loses 17 places to settle for 24.

Nicole Scherzinger has notched up her first solo UK singles chart number one with 'Don't Hold Your Breath', which ends Adele's four-week stay at pole position.
The X Factor guest judge, who last appeared on the rankings in December with top three hit 'Poison', became the first artist to outsell 'Someone Like You' since its release last month.
Scherzinger has topped the UK singles chart twice before as part of the Pussycat Dolls, who reached number one with their first two singles 'Don't Ya' and 'Stickwitu' in 2005. The girl group went on to have eight more top 20 hits in the UK before Scherzinger's departure last year.
Follwing Scherzinger and Adele are The Wanted, who score their third top five hit with Comic Relief single 'Gold Forever' at three, while Jessie J's 'Price Tag' and Rihanna's 'S&M' are bumped down two apiece to round out the top five.
The last single digit spot is snapped up by Dr Dre, Eminem and Skylar Grey, who take 'I Need A Doctor' to a new peak of nine in its seventh week of release, while up-and-coming girlband Parade make a respectable debut with 'Louder' at 10.
Dropping five places each to 11 and 12 are Chris Brown's 'Yeah 3x' and Alexis Jordan's 'Good Girl', but the biggest tumble in the top 20 belongs to Chipmunk and Chris Brown, who are down from eight to 14 with 'Champion'.
Meanwhile, The Black Eyed Peas ascend 12 positions with 'Just Can't Get Enough'. The song's video was shot in Japan a week before the country's earthquake and tsunami, and has been dedicated by the band to victims of the twin disasters.
The final new entry of this week's top 20 belongs to Snoop Dogg and 'Sweat' at 16, while George Michael's comeback release 'True Faith' fails to crack the upper half of the chart, settling instead for 27.

1. (-) Nicole Scherzinger: 'Don't Hold Your Breath'

Adele has snatched an eighth week atop the UK album chart with 21.
The 'Someone Like You' star claimed the top two positions on the rankings this week after her debut LP 19 climbed back to the runner-up spot from last Sunday's four.
Adele's sophomore collection has now added another record to its wealth of achievements, beating Lady GaGa's benchmark for the most digital sales in the UK.
The 'Poker Face' singer became the first artist to break the 300,000 digital sales barrier in March with 2008 release The Fame, while 21 has shifted 320,000 downloads in just two months.
Martin Talbot of the Official Charts Company said: "Adele's 21 has achieved in just two months what took Lady Gaga's The Fame over two years. This really is a coming of age for digital album sales."
The highest new entry of the week belongs to London band The Vaccines, who finished third behind Jessie J and James Blake in the BBC Sound Of 2011 contest, and their debut LP What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? at four.
Right behind are The Overtones, who rocket 31 places up the chart with Good Ol' Fashioned Love after featuring in the Dancing On Ice quarter-final, and last week's runners-up Elbow, down to six with Build A Rocket Boys!.
The top ten is rounded out by veteran performers Daniel O'Donnell and Michael Ball, as the former steps two places to nine with Moon Over Ireland, and Ball arrives just after with Heroes, the 16th top 40 album of his 27-year career .
Further down the list sees R.E.M's Collapse Into Now plummet eight places to 13 from last week's five, while Bread And Circuses, the third studio LP by The View, is a new entry at 14.
Also crashing to the back end of the top 20 are Avril Lavigne and Mumford & Sons, who are down eight and seven places respectively with Goodbye Lullaby and Sigh No More at 17 and 19.

Adele has regained pole position on the UK singles chart with 'Someone Like You'.
The 21 star scored a fifth week at number one after knocking previous chart-topper Nicole Scherzinger and her track 'Don't Hold Your Breath' down to two.
Third place this week belongs to 'Just Can't Get Enough' by The Black Eyed Peas, which gains a hefty 12 spots from last Sunday, while The Wanted's 'Gold Forever' and Jessie J's 'Price Tag' complete the top five.
Adele's debut release 'Rolling In The Deep' also continues to hang within the single digits at nine, as Lady GaGa rounds out a largely unchanged top ten with 'Born This Way', down three from last week's seven.
Outside the top sellers, Peter Kay's Britain's Got The Pop Factor... alter-ego Geraldine McQueen and Susan Boyle win the second highest new entry of the week with their Comic Relief duet 'I Know Him So Well', while Snoop Dogg nestles in behind them at 12 with 'Sweat', which is up four from 16.
Also making progress this week are Noah And The Whale with 'L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.', at 14 from its previous position of 20, and the 50 Cent remix of LA rapper Mann's track 'Buzzin', which breaks into the top half of the chart after climbing nine places to 15.
Kanye West and Rihanna collaboration 'All Of The Lights' also sneaks its way into the top 20 by climbing 13 places to 19 in its tenth week of release, while the Glee cast score the second biggest hit of the show's second season with their 'Thriller/Heads Will Roll' mash-up at 23.

Adele has clocked up a record-breaking ninth week atop the UK album chart with her second studio LP 21.
The mega-selling singer has now managed the longest reign in pole position on the chart this century, and has matched Madonna's record for the most consecutive weeks at number one by a female solo artist, which the legendary popstar set in 1990 with compilation album The Immaculate Collection.
Adele's sophomore album was last week confirmed as having racked up the most UK downloads ever, and previously became the fastest LP to sell a million copies between January and March.
By returning to the top spot on the UK singles chart with 'Someone Like You', Adele also celebrates achieving the chart double for a fifth week. Her 2008 debut album 19 also holds steady in the runner-up spot, making this the third week in the last five that the London singer has managed to occupy the top two spots on the ranking.
Elsewhere on the chart, The Strokes secure the highest new entry of the week with their fourth studio album Angles at three, while Ronan Keating and Burt Bacharach are close behind with When Ronan Met Burt at five.
Also debuting within the top chunk of the chart are Nicole Scherzinger and Chris Brown, whose respective albums Killer Love and F.A.M.E. touch down at eight and ten.
The new entries continue further down the listings, as Duran Duran's All You Need Is Now and Joe Bonamassa's Dust Bowl land at 11 and 12, while Awesome As F**k by Green Day and The Drifters' best of record Up On The Roof are at 14 and 17.
Sandwiched between the latter two newcomers at 15 and 16 are mighty fallers, in the shape of The Vaccines' What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?, down 11 from last week's four, and Daniel O'Donnell's Moon Over Ireland, which crashes seven places from nine.

Adele's 21 has posted its strongest seven-day sales figures yet to secure a tenth consecutive week atop the UK album chart.
Over 250,000 copies of the mega-successful LP were purchased since last Sunday, a week-on-week increase of 65%. Adele now becomes the first artist to spend ten weeks in a row at number one with a studio album since Dire Straits managed the feat in 1986 with Brothers In Arms.
The London-born singer's debut album 19 also holds steady at two, while Ronan Keating achieves a new peak of three with Burt Bacharach collaboration When Ronan Met Burt.
Just behind are a trio of new entries in the shape of X Factor favourite Mary Byrne's Mine & Yours at six, Radiohead's eighth studio record The King Of Limbs at seven and Britney Spears's long-awaited comeback album Femme Fatale at eight.
The so-called 'Mother's Day Effect' also bumps Eva Cassidy collection Simply Eva back to ten from last week's 19, while Michael Bublé's Crazy Love and The Drifters' best-of disc Up On The Roof are buoyed a respective 11 and four places by the special occasion to this Sunday's 12 and 13.
However, previous best-sellers Nicole Scherzinger and The Strokes find themselves on the brink of the top 20 in their second week, as the former Pussycat Doll's Killer Love slips nine to to 17, while the New York band sit at at 18 after falling from three.

Jennifer Lopez has hung on to the UK singles chart top spot for a second week with 'On The Floor'.
The American Idol judge fought off competition from LMFAO's 'Party Rock Anthem' and Adele's mega-selling 'Someone Like You' to retain the title for another Sunday.
Following behind are climbers in the shape of Katy Perry & Kanye West collaboration 'E.T.', up seven to five, and Mann's 50 Cent remix of 'Buzzing', which steps to six from last week's 11.
Also breaking into the top ten for the first time is Snoop Dogg's 'Sweat', which slides seven places to nine, but former high-flyer 'S&M' by Rihanna loses its place in the single digits after stumbling to 12 from nine.
Advancing two apiece this week are Kanye West's 'All Of The Lights' at 15 and Cee Lo Green's 'Bright Lights, Bigger City' at 17, while The Wanted are down four to 18 with 'Gold Forever' and a new entry from Chris Brown and Benny Benassi entitled 'Beautiful People' lands at 20.

Adele has made it an astonishing 11 weeks at number one on the UK album chart with her sophomore record 21.
The seven-times platinum LP, which was today named as the most downloaded album of all time on Amazon.co.uk, has now spent the most consecutive weeks in pole position for a solo artist's studio album.
Adele's effort previously became the fastest album to sell one million copies between January and March, and broke the record for most downloads in the UK.
The London singer also dethroned Madonna as the female artist to have spent the longest time at number one on the album chart.
Sandwiched between 21 and Adele's previous album 19 is Katy B and her debut LP On A Mission, while Jessie J completes the Brit School reunion after climbing four places to five with Who You Are.
Also shuffling upwards this week are Michael Buble's Crazy Love, which advances five spots to seven in its 77th week of release, former number one Doo Wops & Hooligans by Bruno Mars, up three to eight, and Elbow's Build A Rocket Boys!, which is at nine from last Sunday's 14.
The top ten is rounded out by a new entry from Scottish indie rockers Glasvegas entitled Euphoric/Heartbreak, while Mother's Day favourites Ronan Keating, Mary Byrne and Eva Cassidy all tumble into the double digits in the aftermath of the special day.
Keating's Burt Bacharach collaboration When Ronan Met Burt slips from three to 11, Byrne's Mine & Yours is down nine to 15 in its second week of release, while Cassidy collection Simply Eva goes from 10 to 19.
Just beyond the upper half of the chart, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream is buoyed from 31 to 22 following the release of her long-awaited E.T. video, but Chase & Status win the title of biggest climber this week with No More Idols, which is up 15 places to 24.

LMFAO, Lauren Bennet and Goonrock have climbed to the top of the UK singles chart with 'Party Rock Anthem'.
The trio's dancefloor favourite, which debuted at 22 on the rankings three Sundays ago, pushed Jennifer Lopez's comeback track 'On The Floor' into the runner-up spot after a two-week reign at number one.
The next two places see Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg inch forward a respective two and five spots with 'E.T.' and 'Sweat', while Adele's former chart-topper 'Someone Like You' misses out on the top five for the first time after falling three to six.
Meanwhile, buzz over Rihanna's "sexy" new 'S&M' team-up with Britney Spears propels the original track back into the top 10 at seven, next to Chris Brown and Benny Benassi's 'Beautiful People', which glides to eight from last week's 20.
In the double digits, Cee Lo Green hitches four places higher with 'Bright Lights, Bigger City', this week's 13, as Lady GaGa's long-awaited new single 'Judas' arrives at 14 despite having only been released little over 48 hours ago.
Finally, Katy B's 'Broken Record' crashes eight places to 19 in its third week of release and 'I Need A Doctor' by Dr Dre, Eminem and Skylar Grey follows suit, plummeting from 13 to 20.

The Foo Fighters have finally ended Adele's 11-week reign atop the UK album chart with their seventh studio LP Wasting Light.
The rock veterans, who have shifted over 4.5 million albums in the country since 1995, notched up first week sales of 114,000 to finish ahead of 21 and collect their third album chart number one.
Despite being bumped down to the runner-up spot for the first time, Adele's sophomore LP continued to sell strongly, posting a seven day total of 107,000 copies and bringing its overall number ever closer to the two million mark.
The 'Rolling In The Deep' songstress also succeeds in holding on to third with her debut record 19, as the fifth compilation album from the Glee cast makes its debut one place behind.
Twenty-three weeks after its release, The Lady Killer by Cee Lo Green manages to climb up the chart once again, settling in at eight after finishing at 14 last Sunday, while Alison Krauss & Union Station score the second highest new entry of the week after landing at 11 with Paper Airplane.
Elsewhere, crooning stars Michael Buble and The Overtones both slip out of the top 10, bumping down to 12 and 13 with their respective LPs Crazy Love and Good Ol' Fashioned Love.
By contrast, old favourites No More Idols by Chase & Status, Disc-Overy by Tinie Tempah and Plan B's The Defamation Of Strickland Banks all manage to sneak back into the top 20 on this Sunday's chart.

LMFAO, Lauren Bennet and Goonrock have won a close sales battle with Wretch 32 to keep 'Party Rock Anthem' at number one on the UK singles chart.
The club track stuck to pole position for a second Sunday, after recovering from a close chart update, to outperform 'Unorthodox' by a comfortable 30% margin at the end of the week.
Following the return of Britain's Got Talent last Saturday, Tracy Chapman's 1988 classic 'Fast Car' makes an unexpected return to the rankings as buzz around contestant Michael Collings's show-stopping rendition of the track continues to grow.
Just behind, Chris Brown and Benny Benassi sneak into the top five with 'Beautiful People', up three from eight, while Katy Perry and 'E.T.' crash-land at seven after peaking at three last week. Nearby, Lady GaGa climbs to nine with 'Judas' after originally debuting at 14 just 48 hours after its rush-release last Friday.
Further down the numbers, Rihanna's 'S&M' falls four to 11 after a brief top ten vacation prompted by a "sexy" new Britney Spears remix, while Adele's 'Someone Like You' drops into the double digits for the first time, finishing at 12 from last week's six.
Looking to the depths of the top 20, Nicole Scherzinger's 'Don't Hold Your Breath' and Wiz Kalifa's 'Black And Yellow' fall six apiece to 16 and 17, becoming sandwiched between new entries 'The Lazy Song' by Bruno Mars at 15 and 'Run The World (Girls)' by Beyonce at 18.

The London-based singer managed to bump her sophomore LP back to number one for a 12th week after temporarily losing the title to the rock veterans' Wasting Light last Sunday.
Meanwhile, Adele's debut album 19 holds firm at three, as fellow chart golden girls Jessie J and Rihanna return to the top sellers with their respective albums Who You Are and Loud at four and five.
Heading in the opposite direction are Katy B's On A Mission, down three to eight, and the fifth soundtrack from the Glee cast, which is down from four to nine. Chipmunk rounds out the top of the chart with his second studio album Transition, the highest new entry of the week at ten.
Gorillaz also make their return to the rankings with their fourth studio album The Fall at 12, and British singer-songwriter Jamie Woon makes a similarly impressive arrival at 14 with his debut LP Mirrorwriting.

LMFAO have scored a third week at the top of the UK singles chart with 'Party Rock Anthem'.
The electro-hop duo's collaboration with Lauren Bennet and Goonrock finished the week with a 40% sales lead over its nearest competition, 'The Lazy Song' by Bruno Mars.
Mars, who previously reached number one with his first two solo singles 'Just The Way You Are' and 'Grenade', climbed to the runner-up spot after debuting at 15 last week.
The arrival of Mars at the top of the chart sends previous second place finisher 'Unorthodox' by Wretch 32 down five places to seven, one number ahead of Nero's 'Guilt', which becomes the highest new entry of the week at eight.
Just missing out on a spot in the Top 10 is Beyonce and her latest single 'Run The World (Girls)', up seven to 11, while 'Just Can't Get Enough' by the Black Eyed Peas takes a tumble from eight to 13.
Achieving new peaks further down the chart are this week's biggest climbers, 'I Need A Dollar' by Aloe Blacc and 'Nobody's Perfect' by Jessie J, which rise 14 places apiece to 15 and 18 respectively.
However, Lady GaGa fails to keep her latest single 'Judas' in the top half of the rankings, as it slips from nine to 23 in its third week of release, landing a few digits ahead of the Glee cast's first original song 'Loser Like Me', a new entry at 27.

Adele has topped the UK album chart for a 13th week with her second LP 21.
The 'Rolling In The Deep' singer held her sophomore record at pole position and dragged its predecessor 19 back to the runner-up spot to dominate the rankings once again.
19, originally released in January 2008, has now finished in second for five of the 14 weeks since 21's release.
Landing just behind Adele at three are The Wombats, who score their highest album chart placing to date with their second studio LP This Modern Glitch, while Wasting Light by Foo Fighters and Jessie J's Who You Are round out the top five.
Further down the chart, Radiohead leap a hefty 25 places to seven from last week's 32 with The King Of Limbs, a result stemming from the recent release of a limited edition box set of the album, and No More Idols by Chase & Status also returns to the heights of the chart after climbing from 16 to ten.
Also advancing this Sunday are Michael Bublé and Crazy Love, up two to 11 in its 80th week, Last Night On Earth by Noah And The Whale, at 15 from 25, and Pink's Greatest Hits collection, which is up eight to 19.
Finally, American Idol alumnus and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson lands at 20 with her latest album I Remember Me, Ellie Goulding's Lights re-enters the top 40 at 24 following her performance at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding reception, and Chipmunk's latest effort Transition crashes a massive 17 places from ten to 27.

LMFAO have stayed at the top of the Official Singles Chart for the fourth consecutive week with 'Party Rock Anthem'.
The duo held off competition from new Top 10 entries by David Guetta, Jessie J and Aloe Blacc, with the song now having shifted over 400,000 sales since its release.
David Guetta's 'Where Them Girls At?', featuring Flo Rida and NIcki Minaj, entered the chart at number three, marking the producer's 12th top 20 release and his second current Top 10 song, with Snoop Dogg featuring David Guetta at number five with 'Sweat'.
BBC Sound of 2011 winner Jessie J earns her third Top 10 hit, as 'Nobody's Perfect' climbs from 18 to number nine, after 'Do It Like A Dude', which reached number two late last year, and its number one follow-up 'Price Tag'.
Katy Perry and Kanye West, and Wretch 32 featuring Example both fall one place, with 'E.T.' and 'Unorthodox' sitting at six and seven respectively.
US soul singer Aloe Blacc, meanwhile, rises from number 15 to number 10 with 'I Need A Dollar' after eight weeks on the chart.
Sliding down the chart, Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car' falls from nine to 13, while last week's new entry 'Guilt' by Nero drops seven places to 15.
Elsewhere in the chart, Beyonce falls eight to 19 with 'Run The World (Girls)' and Black Eyed Peas drop to 18 with 'Just Can't Get Enough', while Lady GaGa climbs three from 23 to break back into the top 20 with 'Judas'.

Adele is doing very very well with both her albums
Bruno Mars has finally dethroned LMFAO from the UK singles chart top spot with 'The Lazy Song'.
The Hawaii-born singer, who debuted on the listings six weeks ago and finished runner-up for the last two, managed to surpass the electro-hop duo's 'Party Rock Anthem' to notch up his third number one.
He previously topped the chart with 'Just The Way You Are' in September 2010 and 'Grenade' this January. His debut LP Doo Wops & Hooligans also debuted at the peak of the album chart the same month.
Elsewhere, US rap star Pitbull joins forces with Ne-Yo, Dutch DJ Afrojack and Nayer to lift 'Give Me Everything' to four from last week's 12, as Lady GaGa's Born This Way promo track 'The Edge Of Glory' arrives at six based on iTunes downloads alone.
The song was named as the 25-year-old's next official single earlier this week following an overwhelmingly positive response from fans, while its predecessor 'Judas' shifts nine places to 11 from last week's 20.
Behind GaGa are a slew of new entries in the shape of Yasmin's 'Finish Line' at 13, Take That's 'Love Love' at 15 and 'Sun Is Up', the latest single from Romanian singer Inna at 17.
Sandwiched between the latter two new arrivals at 16 is Wretch 32 and his Example collaboration 'Unorthodox', down eight places from last Sunday, while Alexandra Stan's 'Mr Saxobeat' climbs an impressive 13 places to land at 18 from its previous finish of 31.

Adele has managed a 15th week at the top of the UK album chart with 21.
The 'Set Fire To The Rain' singer's sophomore album and its predecessor 19 hold onto their positions at numbers one and three respectively, as House actor Hugh Laurie squeezes between them with this week's highest new entry Let Them Talk.
Further down the digits, the Glee cast make their album chart return at seven with a compilation from the Fox show's all-boy group The Warblers, while Sade's Ultimate Collection, a celebration of the jazz band's 30-year career, arrives at eight.
Just missing out on a spot in the top numbers is another new entry, Colour Of The Trap from Miles Kane, which lands at 11 to sit in front of last week's Top 10 finishers Wasting Light by the Foo Fighters and Jennifer Lopez's Love?, down five and eight respectively to 12 and 14.
Also arriving this Sunday are Lake District indie rockers Wild Beasts and their third album Smother at 17, while chart veteran Tinie Tempah scrambles back into the top 20 with Disc-Overy after climbing three from 23 in its 32nd week of release.

Rap star Pitbull has collected his first UK number one single as a lead artist with 'Give Me Everything', while Lady GaGa has dominated the rest of the chart with four songs in the top 20.
The 30-year-old climbed three places to bounce Bruno Mars and 'The Lazy Song' from pole position with his Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer collaboration. He previously topped the charts in April as a featured vocalist on Jennifer Lopez track 'On The Floor', which is at ten this week.
Meanwhile, GaGa celebrates becoming the first female artist since Ruby Murray in 1955 to place four tracks in the upper half of the rankings, a feat also achieved by legendary artists Frankie Lane, John Lennon and Michael Jackson - the latter of which scored five top 20 hits after his death in 2009.
The highest placing of GaGa's entries this week is Born This Way promo single 'The Edge Of Glory', a non-mover at six, and 'Judas' follows just behind it after ascending from 11 to eight.
Her recently released teaser track 'Hair', a new entry at 13, is next up, as comeback single 'Born This Way' completes the collection by jumping eight places to 16 in its 15th week of release.
The record result has undoubtedly been fuelled by GaGa's spectacular set at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle on Sunday, as well as the hype over her imminent sophomore LP, which was streamed online this week ahead of its official release tomorrow.
Elsewhere, Swedish House Mafia score a new entry at 11 with 'Save The World', Dev scales four spots to 18 with 'Bass Down Low', while Katy Perry and Yasmin dip seven places together with 'E.T.' and 'Finish Line' to finish at 19 and 20 respectively.
Despite losing out to Jedward in last weekend's Eurovision Song Contest, reformed boyband Blue manage to beat the Irish twins in today's singles chart rematch. Their UK entry 'I Can' is up three places to 22, while Jedward's 'Lipstick' lands on the verge of the listings at 40.

Adele has tallied up a 16th week at the top of the UK album chart with 21.
The 'Turning Tables' singer denied veteran performer Kate Bush her fourth chart-topper by holding Director's Cut to the runner-up spot.
The 'Wuthering Heights' singer's highly-anticipated LP is her tenth UK album chart Top 10 in a career that has spanned over 30 years. She last appeared on the listings in 2005 with Arial, which peaked at three.
Further down the digits, Friendly Fires score today's second highest new entry and their best album chart placing to date with Pala at six, while Chase & Status continue their ascent with No More Idols, which is up two to seven.
Concluding the Top 10 is little-known Dutch jazz singer Caro Emerald and her 2010 album Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor, which previously peaked at 74 and last week lingered at 140. The astonishing boost is attributed to the popularity of her song 'On A Night Like This', which was recently picked up by a UK radio station.
Also skyrocketing up the charts is Lady GaGa's debut album The Fame, up 22 places to 11 in its 132nd week of release following her show at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle last Sunday.
The triumphant returns continue further down the listings, with Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album Rumours re-entering at 16 following the prominent use of its tracks in a Glee episode of the same name.
Aside from GaGa, the Big Weekend also benefits recent chart-toppers the Foo Fighters, who zip 16 places to 19 with their Greatest Hits collection, one spot ahead of a new entry from Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi entitled Rome.

Pitbull has retained pole position on the UK singles chart with latest offering 'Give Me Everything'.
The US rapper fought off competition from former chart-topper 'The Lazy Song' by Bruno Mars and the climbing 'I Need A Dollar' by Aloe Blacc to keep his Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer team-up at number one for a second week.
Gliding into the top five for the first time this week is Romanian singer Alexandra Stan, whose 'Mr Saxobeat' advances nine places from 14, while The Saturdays celebrate their ninth Top 10 hit in just three years with 'Notorious' at eight.
Further down, the Swedish House Mafia just sneak into the top sellers with 'Save The World', up from 11 to ten, Jennifer Lopez makes some advances of her own with 'I'm Into You', up eight to 13, and Nicole Scherzinger's 'Right There' rides rumours of her appointment to the X Factor USA panel to land at this week's 15 from its previous finish of 27.
One week after becoming the first female artist in over 55 years to have four entries in the top 20 simultaneously, album chart champion Lady GaGa celebrates placing three songs in the upper half of the rankings - 'Judas', down one to nine, 'Born This Way', down one at 17 and 'The Edge Of Glory', which slips 12 spots to 18.
The top 20 concludes with Inna's 'Sun Is Up' falling four places to 19 and Rihanna's 'California King Bed' achieving a new peak after climbing 16 digits from 36.

Lady GaGa has soared to the top of the UK album chart after posting the biggest first-week sales of 2011 so far with Born This Way.
The 'Edge Of Glory' singer's long-awaited sophomore LP shifted over 215,000 copies since its release on Monday to bump album chart dominator Adele's 21 and 19 records into second and third place respectively.
Commenting on her success, the 25-year-old gushed: "I feel so honoured to have the highest first-week sales in the UK this year. I wrote the album's first single 'Born This Way' in Manchester because I was so inspired by the confidence and bravery characteristic of my fans, little monsters. To the United Kingdom, thank you for believing in me."
Elsewhere in the rankings, veteran dance collective The Prodigy score their seventh Top 10 album with World's On Fire - Live at five, while GaGa's debut offering The Fame shoots to seven from last week's 11 following Born This Way's arrival.
Meanwhile, Kate Bush manages to snatch just one week in the top 10 after latest album Director's Cut slides nine spots to 11, finishing just ahead of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons collection Working My Way Back To You, a new entry at 12.
Aloe Blacc continues to collect fans as his Good Things LP climbs from 26 to 14, while Take That's multi-million-selling Progress jumps five places to 16 after the launch of their record-breaking live tour in Sunderland on Friday.
Finally, the Foo Fighters slip nine places to 18 with Wasting Light, Friendly Fires land at 19 from last Sunday's six with Pala and Fleet Foxes conclude the top 20 after Helplessness Blues crashes eight places from 12.

Pitbull has notched up a third week at pole position on the UK singles chart with 'Give Me Everything'.
The rapper's team-up with Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer fought off rising rivals Aloe Blacc's 'I Need A Dollar' and Alexandra Stan's 'Mr Saxobeat' to retain the number one spot.
Outside the top five, DJ Alex Gaudino claims his fourth Top 10 hit in as many years, as well as the week's highest new entry, with his Kelly Rowland collaboration 'What A Feeling' at six, just outdoing Rihanna's 'California King Bed', which leaps to eight from last Sunday's 20.
Also sneaking into the Top 10 for the first time is Jennifer Lopez and Lil Wayne's 'I'm Into You', up three from 13, while Jessie J and Dev finish on the verge of the upper quarter after taking respective tracks 'Nobody's Perfect' and 'Bass Down Low' to this week's 11 and 12.
However, Lady GaGa, David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia find themselves suffering the opposite fate, as 'Judas' slips six to 15, 'Where Them Girls At' falls from 11 to 16, and 'Save The World' loses its place in the Top 10 after tumbling seven to 17.
The biggest loss this week though is reserved for the Saturdays and 'Notorious', which plummets 13 digits to 21 in only its second week on the chart.

Lady Gaga has snatched a second week atop the UK album chart with Born This Way.
The 'Judas' singer's sophomore LP once again held Adele's 21 and 19 collections to second and third place respectively.
Born This Way has collected numerous chart accolades since becoming the fastest-selling number one of 2011 last Sunday, achieving global sales of over 2m copies and pushing GaGa past the 3m milestone in the UK when combined with her debut album The Fame.
Three new acts debut within the Top 10 behind the chart-topping ladies this week, the highest of which are Alabama-born sisters The Pierces, who land at four with their latest studio LP You & I.
The pair formed in 2000, but failed to chart in the UK with any of their three previous albums until being recruited to ex-Coldplay member Guy Berryman and Grammy award-winning producer Rik Simpson's production company.
Next in the new arrivals is US bluesman Seasick Steve and his third UK Top 10 album You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks at six, just ahead of climbing artists Aloe Blacc and Take That, at eight and nine respectively with Good Things and Progress.
Rock veterans Status Quo complete the upper rankings with their 34th top 40 hit Quid Pro Quo at ten, while Rihanna's Loud climbs five to 12 in its 29th week of release.
A new entry in the shape of Black Stone Cherry's Between the Devil And The Deep Blue Sea at 13 heads a slew of falling titles, with the biggest loses belonging to Hugh Laurie's Let Them Talk, down from eight to 15, and World's On Fire - Live by The Prodigy, which crashes 15 places to 20.

Example has collected his first UK singles chart number one with 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me'.
The London-born rapper - real name Elliot Gleave - ended Pitbull, Ne-Yo and Afrojack's three-week reign atop the rankings after shifting over 115,000 copies of his first solo track of 2011.
At three this week is newly-announced X Factor USA judge Nicole Scherzinger and her 50 Cent collaboration 'Right There', which becomes the Pussycat Doll's third consecutive solo top five hit after climbing from last Sunday's 14.

Following Michael Collings's performance of the song in last Saturday's Britain's Got Talent final, 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman becomes the week's highest climber, by shooting from 28 to 13.

The Arctic Monkeys have scored their fourth successive UK album chart number one with Suck It And See.
The indie rockers knocked Lady GaGa's worldwide best-seller Born This Way from pole position to become only the second band in history to debut atop the rankings four times in a row.
Official Charts Company managing director Martin Talbot said: "With the Arctic Monkeys cementing their place in the history books so soon after Adele's phenomenal run at Official Albums Chart number one, British talent is clearly in very good health indeed."
Keane were first to win four consecutive chart-topping records between 2005 and 2010, while George Michael and Boyzone equal the feat when compilation discs are taken into account.
Elsewhere, 11-year-old America's Got Talent star Jackie Evancho lands at four with debut album Dream With Me, as the Glee cast return to the Top 10 with their sixth soundtrack LP, a new entry at six.
Louis Walsh's latest girlband Wonderland - made up of former X Factor contestants - also manage a respectable debut with their self-titled album at eight, landing just a few spots above folk-punk singer Frank Turner's newest release England Keep My Bones at 12.
By contrast, The Pierces and Aloe Blacc are ejected from the Top 10 after slipping nine and seven places respectively with You & I and Good Things, this Sunday's 13 and 15.
Finally, Iron Maiden compilation From Fear To Eternity and All Time Low's Dirty Work snag the final spots in the top 20 on their first week of release, while Nicole Scherzinger sees her debut solo album Killer Love ascend 13 places to 22 following her appointment to the X Factor USA panel.

Example has retained the number one spot on the UK singles chart with 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me'.
The 'Kickstarts' rapper emerged victorious from a close sales battle with Calvin Harris and 'Bounce', which temporarily snatched pole position on Wednesday's midweek update.
Despite missing out on number one, Harris celebrates in 'Bounce' his eighth top Top 40 hit. He previously reached the peak of the rankings with 'I'm Not Alone' in 2009 and 'Dance Wiv Me' in 2008.
Debuting at three this week is Ed Sheeran and 'The A Team', while 'Spaceship', Tinchy Stryder's team-up with Dappy, touches down at five. The N-Dubz star previously confessed on Twitter to being disappointed with the track's chart performance.
Glancing past the top five, Nicole Scherzinger, Alexandra Stan and Aloe Blacc occupy spots six to eight after falling three apiece with respective tracks 'Right There', 'Mr Saxobeat' and 'I Need A Dollar'.
With other fallers occupying the rest of the Top 10 and the first three entries outside, it takes Jennifer Lopez's 'On The Floor' to break the pattern by bumping up four to 14, setting the trend for Lady GaGa and Nicki Minaj, who climb 12 and two respectively with 'The Edge Of Glory' and 'Super Bass' - this week's 16 and 17.
Elsewhere, Jessie J crashes eight to the bottom of the top 20 with 'Nobody's Perfect', while Coldplay's comeback hits a stumbling block as 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' falls from six to 22.
Katy Perry, meanwhile, sees her latest track 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' land at 25 based on the buzz surrounding its star-studded video, which was released this week.

Take That's multi-million selling LP Progress has made a triumphant return to the top of the UK album chart.
The 'Love Love' boyband's collection soared ten places to pole position following the release of eight-track EP Progressed this week, knocking previous champions Arctic Monkeys down to four with Suck It And See.
The original album spent six consecutive week at number one last year to become 2010's biggest seller. Progress has sold 2.8 million copies since its release in November.

Meanwhile, Eminem and Royce Da 5'9" double act Bad Meets Evil land one spot behind with their sophomore LP Hell - The Sequel. The pair formed back in 1997 before the 'Real Slim Shady' rapper achieved global success with his solo career.
At the back end of the Top 10 come two rising favourites in the shape of Caro Emerald's Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor, up to eight from 17, and Electric Light Orchestra, who speed 13 places from last week's 23 with greatest hits record All Over The World.
Further down the double digits, 11-year-old America's Got Talent star Jackie Evancho plummets ten spots to 14 with Dream With Me, just ahead of late jazz singer Frankie Laine's Hits collection, a new arrival at 16.
Finally, Cee Lo Green and Lady GaGa manage to scrape back into the upper half of the chart with their critically-acclaimed and mega-selling albums The Lady Killer and The Fame, which rise seven and five entries respectively to 19 and 20.

Jason Derulo has landed straight in at number one on the UK singles chart with 'Don't Wanna Go Home'.
The 21-year-old outpaced previous champion 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me' by Example and Calvin Harris's 'Bounce' to snag his second UK chart-topper. He last reached pole position with 'In My Head' back in February 2010.
Dutch DJ Vato Gonazlez and UK grime collective Foreign Beggars score the week's second highest new entry with 'Badman Riddim (Jump)' at seven, just pipping Lady GaGa's 'The Edge Of Glory', which steps to eight from 16 following the launch of the song's official video last week.
The title of this week's highest climber is awarded to Katy Perry and 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)', which rises 13 places from 24 to land on the rim of the Top 10, while Tinchy Stryder & Dappy zoom in the opposite direction with 'Spaceship', down from five to 13 in its second Sunday on the chart.
Elsewhere, Nicki Minaj takes 'Super Bass' to a new peak of 15 after bumping up a further two entries, while Jennifer Lopez watches her singles 'I'm Into You' and 'On The Floor' slip a respective six and five places down the numbers to 16 and 19.
The final space in the top 20 is snatched up by Black Eyed Peas and 'Don't Stop The Party', down two in its seventh week, as The Saturdays just fail to scrape back into the upper numbers with 'Notorious', despite an impressive five-place climb from last Sunday's 26.

Also climbing this week is Jennifer Lopez and comeback album Love?, up ten to 15, while her 'On The Floor' collaborator Pitbull is a new entry at 18 with his sixth studio record Planet Pit.
Finally, a new entry from Barry Manilow, entitled 15 Minutes, just pips a re-entering Katy B and On A Mission to the last spot in this week's top 20.

Jason Derülo has held on to the UK singles chart top spot for a second week with 'Don't Wanna Go Home'.
The 21-year-old defeated tough competition in the shape of Glastonbury favourites Example and Beyoncé to extend his reign at number one.
Example's 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me' remains in the runner-up spot, while album chart champion Beyoncé snags the highest new entry of the week with 'Best Thing I Never Had' at three.

Beyoncé has landed straight at the top of the UK album chart with her latest solo effort '4'.
The 'Run The World (Girls)' singer was boosted to pole position following her phenomenally well-received headline slot at last weekend's Glastonbury festival.
4 is Beyoncé's second number one solo LP after her debut Dangerously In Love, which topped the rankings in 2003. She previously reached the peak of the album chart in 2001 with her former girl group Destiny's Child and their third studio record Survivor.
The 29-year-old has also seen her 2008 album I Am...Sasha Fierce shoot to 38 from last week's 127 off the back of her Glastonbury performance.
Beyoncé's arrival pushes former chart champions Born This Way by Lady GaGa and Progress by Take That down to three and four, where they become sandwiched between Adele's 21 and 19 records at two and five respectively.
The so-called "Glastonbury effect" continues outside the top five with Jessie J racing from 11 to six with Who You Are, as her fellow performers Biffy Clyro and Kaiser Chiefs score new entries with Revolutions/Live At Wembley and The Future Is Medieval at nine and ten.
Also reaping the rewards of an appearance at the legendary event are Chase & Status and Cee Lo Green, who shoot five and six places respectively to 12 and 13 with No More Idols and The Lady Killer, while Stevie Nicks enters just behind them at 14 with her seventh studio album In Your Dreams.
By contrast, Bon Iver's self-titled LP and Suck It And See by the Arctic Monkeys both fall to the double digits, after dropping 11 and ten places to 15 and 16, an inch ahead of Mumford & Sons and Noah & The Whale, the final two Glastonbury performers in this week's top 20.
The 'Little Lion Man' singers are up nine spots to 17 with Sigh No More, while Noah And The Whale finish in 20th place after settling at 29 last Sunday.

DJ Fresh, and Kosheen star Sian Evans have stormed to the top of the UK singles chart with 'Louder'.
The 34-year-old drum and bass artist - real name Daniel Stein - saw his track hit pole position after selling over 140,000 copies in just seven days. The figure is more than double that of this week's runner-up, 'How We Roll' by Loick Essien.
'Louder' becomes the second-fastest selling single of 2011 after Bruno Mars's former number one 'Grenade', which shifted in excess of 149,000 copies in January.
Beyond the new entries is a major top five shake-up, as Ed Sheeran forces his way to three from last week's six with 'The A Team', Example slips from the runner-up spot to four with 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me' and previous number one 'Don't Wanna Go Home' by Jason Derülo crashes down to five.
Beyoncé, Calvin Harris and Pitbull, meanwhile, fall three apiece to occupy spots six to eight with respective tracks 'Best Thing I Never Have', 'Bounce' and 'Give Me Everything'.
In the double digits, Lady GaGa slips down to 11 from last week's seven with 'The Edge Of Glory', as her fellow album chart dominator Adele races towards the best-sellers with 'Set Fire To The Rain', which is up nine spots to 12.
Elsewhere, Coldplay's brief return to the Top 10 comes to an end as the buzz surrounding their Glastonbury appearance finally starts to subside. Their comeback track 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' is down four to 14.
At 16 this week is Vato Gonzalez and 'Badman Riddim (Jump)', down five from last Sunday's 11, while the team-up of David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida settle in next door after climbing nine places to 17 with 'Where Them Girls At?'.
Finally, Nicole Scherzinger and 50 Cent trip four entries to 19 with 'Right There' and Aloe Blacc completes the top 20 with 'I Need A Dollar', which last week finished in 13th place.

The week's highest new entry belongs to legendary singer Beverley Knight and Soul UK at 13, as Disney Channel favourite Selena Gomez makes a respectable debut just behind with her band The Scene. Their third studio album When The Sun Goes Down is today's 15.
Finally, Chris Brown scales six to 16 with F.A.M.E. and Lady GaGa zooms from 23 to 18 with her debut album The Fame, which is now in its 130th week on the chart.

The four-piece boyband collected the biggest first-week sales of their career after their latest release shifted 117,000 copies in just seven days.
The group first topped the chart with their debut record 'All Time Low' last July and have peaked within the top three with all but one of their first five singles.
Last week's number one 'Louder' by DJ Fresh and Sian Evans slips to the runner-up spot, as Ed Sheeran's 'The A Team', a climbing Beyoncé and 'Best Thing I Never Had' and last week's second place finisher 'How We Roll' by Loick Essien round up the top five.

Adele has made a sensational return to the top of the UK album chart with 21.
The 'Someone Like You' singer notched up a 17th Sunday at number one with her sophomore record, which was first released 25 weeks ago and has never finished lower than two on the rankings.
Adele's climb sends last week's chart victor 4 by Beyoncé into the runner-up spot, while Adele's 2008 debut 19 follows its successor up the digits to settle in at three.
The top five is rounded out by another former chart topper in the shape of Lady GaGa's Born This Way and a new entry from indie band The Horrors, entitled Skying.
Past number ones also fill four of the five remaining spots in the Top 10, with the biggest shake-ups belonging to Wasting Light by the Foo Fighters, up four to eight, and Take That's Progress, which is down to nine from last week's five.
Elsewhere, Cee Lo Green and Jessie J slip out from the biggest sellers with their LPs The Lady Killer and Who You Are, down three apiece to 12 and 13 respectively. Entering just one spot behind them are Nickelodeon boyband Big Time Rush, who score the week's second highest new entry with their debut album BTR.
Lower down the numbers sees two big re-entries from David Guetta's One Love, which is at 17 after 92 weeks on the chart, and Andrea Bocelli's best-of collection Vivere, propelled back to 19 in its 109th week of release by the tenor's performance on the Popstar to Operastar final last Sunday.
The top 20 is completed by the seventh studio album from US rockers Incubus If Not Now, When?, a brand new entry this week.

Adele is doing some business with her album 21
Adele's '21' takes 18th week at albums No.1
Adele has collected an 18th week at the peak of the UK album chart with 21.
The 'Rolling In The Deep' singer once again outperformed Beyoncé's 4 and her own debut LP 19 to capture the title.
Caro Emerald takes her Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor to a new peak of four after climbing two more places, while Lady GaGa rounds out the top five with Born This Way.
This is the second all-female top five to occur this year, after Adele's albums, Katy B's On A Mission, Rihanna's Loud and Who You Are by Jessie J secured the top spots back in April. Female artists have spent a combined total of six months at number one on the album chart in 2011, while male artists have held pole position for just four weeks.
Elsewhere, Rihanna's aforementioned LP clambers three places to seven, where it is followed by a new entry from LMFAO entitled Sorry For Party Rocking at eight and Chase & Status's No More Idols, up two to nine.
Take That, meanwhile, tumble out of the Top 10 after falling three places to 12 with Progress, as Chris Brown's comeback album F.A.M.E. climbs another four entries to 14.
Further down, The Horrors find themselves lingering at 17 after an impressive debut at five last Sunday, while The Script's September 2010 release Science & Faith launches 14 spots to 18 in its 45th week on the chart.
The dramatic contrasts continue at the depths of the top 20, as Katy Perry's Teenage Dream bounces to 19 from 22 off the back of her MTV VMA nominations, Arctic Monkeys' former chart-topper Suck It And See crashes five to 20 and Elbow's Build A Rocket Boys! blasts to 21 from last week's 34.

In the double digits, Aloe Blacc blazes eight spots up the chart to 13 with 'I Need A Dollar', as David Guetta and LMFAO each advance three with 'Where Them Girls At?' and 'Party Rock Anthem', this week's 15 and 16.
Immediately behind them is Alexandra Stan and 'Mr Saxobeat', down two to 17 in its 13th week of release, while Coldplay's 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' and a second entry from David Guetta in the shape of 'Little Bad Girl' also lose their footing, dropping four and three respectively to 18 and 19.

As was to be expected:
Amy Winehouse's material has rocketed up the UK singles and albums charts following her death yesterday.
The 27-year-old was found dead at her home in Camden on Saturday afternoon, prompting an outpouring of emotion from fans and widespread investment in her back catalogue.
In the seven short hours between confirmation of her death and this weekend's charts being tallied, Winehouse's 2006 album Back To Black rose to 59 on the official rankings, while a deluxe edition of the LP landed at 163.
On the singles chart, her 'Back To Black' and 'Rehab' songs re-entered at 81 and 181 respectively.
Despite the modest positions, sales of Winehouse's albums increased by 37 times between Friday and Saturday and her tracks are shifting at 23 times the previous rate - paving the way for a much higher finish next weekend.
"For the world and British music to lose such a talent and icon yesterday is truly tragic," Martin Talbot of the Official Charts Company said. "And already the popularity of Amy's music with the British public is being demonstrated, with sales of her albums rocketing by 37 times over the past 24 hours - according to Official Charts Company data.
"While Amy has already had an impact on the Official Charts - seven hours is just 4% of the seven-day sales period monitored for the Official Charts - we would expect an even bigger impact to roll through over the coming days.
"Such a demonstration of her popularity is the best tribute the British public can pay to this extraordinary British talent."
Winehouse's Back To Black album is currently number one on iTunes charts worldwide.
The late Amy Winehouse has returned to the top of the UK album chart with her celebrated 2006 LP Back To Black.
The 'Tears Dry On Their Own' singer, who died last Saturday at the age of 27, took pole position from Adele's 21 after her passing prompted many to explore her critically-acclaimed discography.
As a result, her 2003 debut Frank - which previously peaked at 13 in 2005 - today achieves its best ever album chart placing at five, while a double pack of her two records finishes at ten.
Elsewhere in the Top 10, Caro Emerald's Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor, Lady GaGa's Born This Way and Doo Wops & Hooligans by Bruno Mars fall together to this week's six, seven and eight respectively.
Meanwhile, Katy Perry soars eight spots up the chart with her August 2010 release Teenage Dream at 11, as Rihanna and the Foo Fighters exit the top-sellers after stumbling five places apiece with Loud and Wasting Light, this week's 12 and 15.
Also taking a tumble this Sunday are Cee Lo Green's The Lady Killer, down three to 16, and Take That's Progress, at 17 from its previous finish at 12.
Finally, Lady GaGa slips four to 19 with her first album The Fame, which becomes sandwiched between two risers in the shape of Noah And The Whale's The Last Night On Earth and Elbow's Build A Rocket Boys!, up seven and one respectively to 18 and 20.

JLS have snatched the UK singles chart top spot from rival boyband The Wanted.
The X Factor group scored their fifth number one with new release 'She Makes Me Wanna', which also features Dev, to end The Wanted's two-week reign at pole position with 'Glad You Came'.
JLS first topped the charts with 'Beat Again' and 'Everybody In Love' in 2009, with 'Love You More' and 'The Club Is Alive' also reaching the summit the following year.
Meanwhile, 'Back To Black' by the late Amy Winehouse rises to eight this week, having previously peaked at 25 upon its release in 2006. The track jumped to 81 last Sunday following her death the previous afternoon and is the first of five singles from the 27-year-old to chart in the top 40 today.
Winehouse's 'Tears Dry On Their Own' is the next of her best-sellers at 27, while 'Rehab' follows at 29, 'Love Is A Losing Game' lands at 33 and 'You Know I'm No Good' finishes at 37. All come from Winehouse's 2006 LP Back To Black, which returned to the top of the UK album chart this weekend.
In the double digits, Nicki Minaj scores her first UK Top 10 single with 'Super Bass', which climbs a further two places from 12 in its 13th week on the listings. Calvin Harris and Kelis, however, head the opposite direction to finish at 11 from last Sunday's eight with 'Bounce'.
Former chart-topper 'Don't Wanna Go Home' by Jason Derülo is another faller today, landing at 15 from its previous finish of seven, just one spot ahead of the week's second highest new entry - Maverick Sabre's 'Let Me Go'.
Plummeters fill the final spots of the top 20 as well, with Example's 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me' crashing eight to 17, Aloe Blacc's 'I Need A Dollar' flying down five to 18 and David Guetta's team-up with Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida, entitled 'Little Bad Girl', at 19 from last week's 15.

Cher Lloyd has stomped straight to the top of the UK singles chart with her debut track 'Swagger Jagger'.
The 18-year-old knocked fellow X Factor alumni JLS and their seventh release 'She Makes Me Wanna' from pole position after just one week. The Wanted's 'Glad You Came' and Ed Sheeran's 'The A Team' follow at three and four, while DJ Loud and Sian Evans round out the top five with 'Louder'.
Further down the numbers, David Guetta, Taio Cruz and Ludacris boost to six from 13, as two very different acts in the shape of Nicki Minaj and Rizzle Kicks both score their best ever UK chart finishes. Minaj's 'Super Bass' climbs another two places to eight in its 14th week of release, while Rizzle Kicks shoot a massive 11 entries up the chart with 'Down With The Trumpets' at nine.

Calvin Harris and Kelis also take a tumble with 'Bounce', down three to 14, as Chris Brown and Justin Bieber race in behind them at 15 with 'Next To You', which is up seven this Sunday.
The week's second-highest new entry belongs to US up-and-comer Christina Perri and 'Jar Of Hearts' at 17, while Maverick Sabre and Aloe Blacc slide two apiece to 18 and 20 with 'Let Me Go' and 'I Need A Dollar'.

Amy Winehouse has managed to retain her posthumous UK album chart number one with Back To Black. :cheer:
The celebrated 2006 LP notched up a second week in pole position after recording its strongest seven-day sales since the 27-year-old's death in late July.
Winehouse's debut album Frank, first released in 2003, also climbs from three to five to achieve its best ever chart placing. The late star's two records are surrounded by Adele's 21 and 19 at two and four respectively, while Beyoncé rounds out the top five with 4.
Meanwhile, Lady GaGa and Chase & Status shuffle a further two places up the rankings to take Born This Way and No More Idols to six and seven, as Caro Emerald slips three spots to nine with Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor.
Rihanna's November 2010 release Loud returns to the top-sellers after climbing two places to ten, while Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. and Jessie J's Who You Are rise the same number to settle in behind at 11 and 12.

London-based dubstep duo Nero have collected their first UK singles chart number one with 'Promises'.
The electronic act, otherwise known as Dan Stephens and Joe Ray, pushed Cher Lloyd's 'Swagger Jagger' from pole position with their fourth ever release.
Speaking to the Official Charts Company, Ray credited the momentous feat to the success of their January single 'Me & You' and their nomination for the BBC's 'Sound Of 2011' poll.
"We'd been going since about 2004, then suddenly we had this number 15 hit," he said. "Before that, we were expected to carry on being an underground, word-of-mouth thing. Suddenly we were being played on Radio 1 and everything changed."
Beyond the summit of the chart, David Guetta, Taio Cruz and Ludacris climb two to this week's four with 'Little Bad Girl', as Christina Perri's 'Jar Of Hearts' rises 12 spots to round out the refreshed top five.
Their ascent, coupled with Nero's arrival at number one, forces Ed Sheeran's 'The A Team', 'Louder' by DJ Fresh and Beyoncé's 'Best Thing I Never Had' three, four and three places down the rankings respectively to this week's seven, nine and ten.
Nicki Minaj is shunted back three to 11 after slowly progressing up with the chart with 'Super Bass', while Katy Perry drops the same amount to 15 with 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' to finish just ahead of 'Titanium', a new entry from David Guetta and Sia, at 16.
The final four places in the top-sellers play host to a mix of climbers and fallers, as Loick Essien's 'How We Roll' drops seven to 17, 'Pumped Up Kicks' by Foster The People leaps four to 18, 'Bounce' by Calvin Harris lands at 19 from 14 and Benny Bennass's 'Cinema' sneaks up four to 20.

The late Amy Winehouse has collected a third week atop the UK album chart with her 2006 release Back To Black.
The sophomore LP from the 27-year-old, who was found dead in her Camden home late last month, fought off competition from Adele's 21 and a new entry in the shape of Watch The Throne by Jay-Z and Kanye West to keep the title once again.
Her 2003 debut Frank, meanwhile, slips one spot on the rankings, while Adele's 19 record falls the same amount to complete the top five.
Further down, jazz star Randy Crawford arrives at six with her Best Of compilation, Lady GaGa's mega-seller Born This Way drops three to nine and Jessie J climbs two from 12 to complete the Top 10 with Who You Are.

Wretch 32 has grabbed his first UK singles chart number one with 'Don't Go'.
The Tottenham-born rapper, aka Jermaine Scott, knocked album chart champions Nero and their 'Promises' record from pole position with his third release of 2011.
"To be honest, if someone told me this was going to happen this time last year, I probably would have laughed," he told the Official Charts Company. "I would have thought they were winding me up."
'Don't Go' leads an all-new top three, also populated by Scottish singer Emeli Sandé's debut single 'Heaven' and Maroon 5's team-up with Christina Aguilera 'Moves Like Jagger'.
David Guetta, Taio Cruz and Ludacris, meanwhile, are forced down three to seven with 'Little Bad Girl', as former chart-toppers JLS and The Wanted drop to the depths of the best-sellers with 'She Makes Me Wanna' and 'Glad You Came', down seven and four respectively.

Ex-Busted and Fightstar singer Charlie Simpson also achieves a respectable debut at six with his first solo album Young Pilgrim, while an Ultimate Collection from late folk legend John Denver lands right behind at seven.
Chase & Status scramble to the back end of the Top 10 after rising three to nine with No More Idols, but Rihanna just fails to follow them into the top-sellers despite lifting the same number with Loud, which is this week's 11.

Amy Winehouse's posthumous release Lioness: Hidden Treasures has landed straight in at number one on the UK album chart.
The LP of previously-unheard recordings shifted over 194,000 copies in just seven days, giving the late singer the biggest weekly sales total of her career.
The figure also makes Hidden Treasures the fourth fastest-selling album of 2011, a title currently held by Lady GaGa's Born This Way with 215,000 copies.
£1 from every sale of the album will go to The Amy Winehouse Foundation for addiction, set up by her family after the 'Back To Black' singer died of alcohol poisoning on July 23 at the age of 27.
"It's such amazing news that Amy's album has gone to number one, and just goes to show what she still means to people," her mother Janis said. "It's especially good for the Foundation and knowing that every sale will go to help a deserving cause makes the news all the more special. I'm so proud of my daughter and so happy that she is still touching people. She's forever in my heart."
Martin Talbot of the OCC added: "For Amy's posthumous album to soar to the top of the Official Albums Chart in what is such a competitive time of year is an impressive achievement and a fitting tribute. It shows just what she meant to British music fans."
Lioness's success is emulated by the rest of this Sunday's top four, all of which have managed to break the 100,000 sales barrier in the past week.
Michael Bublé's Christmas remains at two, but posts a week-on-week increase of over 30% to almost 190,000 copies, X Factor runner-up Rebecca Ferguson shifts over 128,000 editions of her debut album Heaven to reach three and Olly Murs still notches up over 113,000 sales of In Case You Didn't Know, despite slipping from pole position.
As Christmas approaches, former number one albums occupy the rest of the Top 10, with the biggest movements being made by Rihanna's Talk That Talk, down two to five, and One Direction's Up All Night, which crashes five to nine.
Westlife skate out of the bestsellers after two weeks with their Greatest Hits album, down two to 11, as Il Divo also settle for a place in the double digits at 13 with Wicked Game, which is down from last week's six.
Alfie Boe, meanwhile, boosts five up the chart to 15 with Alfie, as Susan Boyle's Someone To Watch Over Me and Take That's Progress Live dip three and six places respectively to 16 and 18.

Colplay's Mylo Xyloto boosts five places to three following an 113% week-on-week sales increase sparked by their performance on last Sunday's X Factor final.

X Factor winners Little Mix have landed straight at the top of the UK singles chart with their debut release 'Cannonball'.
The girl band - individually known as Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall - bump the show's 2009 runner-up and Xtra Factor host Olly Murs from pole position following their victory last Sunday (December 11).
Murs instead settles for third with 'Dance With Me Tonight' behind Coldplay's 'Paradise', which hits a new peak after a performance on the X Factor final.
Leona Lewis scores the second-highest new entry of the week at eight with a cover of 'Hurt' by Nine Inch Nails, also performed at the X Factor final, while T-Pain, Wiz Khalifa and Lily Allen complete the Top 10 after falling four with '5 O'Clock'.

Little Mix make a second appearance in the Top 20 on 'Wishing On A Star' by the X Factor finalists, JLS and One Direction, which crashes from last week's runner-up spot to 17 in just its third week of release.
'Mama Do The Hump' by Rizzle Kicks is a new entry at 18, while the original version of 'Cannonball' by Damien Rice re-enters the chart at 19 off the back of Little Mix's win. The song peaked at 32 when it was first released in 2002 and got to nine in September following an X Factor contestant's earlier performance.

They were bound to be number one this week.
I went and bought my copy of the military wives Whereever you go today, were selling very fast in Stockport. Love Gareth and the ladies to get xmas number one.
The Military Wives Choir and Gareth Malone have been crowned as this year's Christmas number one with their song 'Wherever You Are'.
The group triumphed over tracks such as Little Mix's 'Cannonball', Lou Monte's 'Dominick the Donkey', 'Paradise' by Coldplay and Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' in the race for the festive top spot.
Malone formed the Military Wives Choir - which comprises the wives, partners and girlfriends of serving armed forces members - for his BBC Two factual show The Choir: Military Wives. He offered his congratulations to the choir on Twitter, writing: "Congratulations ladies. You did it. Be very very proud. Gxxxx."
'Wherever You Are' was made VAT exempt following a request from Conservative MP Oliver Colvile, and attracted the largest two-day sales figures for six years earlier this week.
Proceeds from the single will benefit two armed forces charities - the Royal British Legion and SSAFA Forces Help (the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association).
Little Mix drop one place to number two, while Coldplay slide three places to number five.
Lou Monte's 'Dominick the Donkey' enters the Top 40 at number three following a campaign by BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles. The track shifted nearly 93,000 copies and makes the UK chart for the first time since its original release 51 years ago. YouTube sensation Alex Day sold almost 53,000 copies of his self-released single 'Forever Yours' to take fourth place.
Elsewhere, Olly Murs drops three places to six with 'Dance With Me Tonight', while Rihanna and Calvin Harris slide five to tenth place in the chart. Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' just misses the Top 10 following a Facebook campaign to make it Christmas number one, charting at number 11.

The Justice Collective's charity single 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' has beaten James Arthur to become the 2012 Christmas number one.
The track, released to raise legal funds for families of the victims of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, outsold the X Factor winner by over 45,000 copies after a tight mid-week battle. The cover of the Hollies hit features artists including Sir Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, Rebecca Ferguson and the Spice Girls' Mel C.
Liverpool Walton MP Steve Rotheram, who first came up with the idea for the record, said of the news: "We have done in nine weeks what it normally takes nine months or more to achieve - working with a phenomenally dedicated team, all of whom have worked for free and displayed total professionalism throughout."
As a result, Arthur's 'Impossible' drops to number two, with will.i.am and Britney Spears's 'Scream & Shout' also falling a place to three.
Rihanna's 'Stay' climbs to four, while Bruno Mars's 'Locked Out of Heaven' completes the top five of the festive chart.
New entries in the Top 40 come from 23-year-old YouTube phenomenon Alex Day, whose 'Stupid Stupid' debuts at 25. Day previously had a number four hit with 'Forever Yours' in 2011 while remaining unsigned, following it up with 'Lady Godiva', which charted at 15 in April.
X Factor star and market trader One Pound Fish Man - aka Muhammad Shahid Nazir - also sees his debut single 'One Pound Fish' reach number 29. However, fellow novelty track 'The 12 Days of Christmas', by The Eddie Stobart Truckers, falls just outside the Top 40, charting at 47.
