Lady GaGa back up to No. 1
Iyaz has gone straight in at number one with his debut single 'Replay'.
The 22-year-old overtook Sidney Samson during the week and reached the top spot after selling over 106,000 singles.
Meanwhile, Samson managed to sell over 97,000 copies of his single 'Riverside (Let's Go)'. The Official Charts Company said that such high sales would normally have seen him get to number one and added that over 3m singles were sold in the last week.
Martin Talbot, the managing director of the Official Charts Company, said: "You might expect a sales lull at this time of year, but Iyaz and Sidney Samson clearly defy expectations. To have two singles selling such significant numbers in the first chart of the year is fantastic."
Elsewhere in the chart, The Saturdays climbed into the top ten with 'Ego', while Florence and the Machine moved up to number five with 'You've Got The Love'.
However, X Factor winner Joe McElderry fell 13 places from number two to number 15. Cheryl Cole slipped six places to number 11 with '3 Words', while Rihanna's 'Russian Roulette' dropped down from number eight to number 13.

Owl City has beaten John & Edward to keep hold of the UK top spot.
The singer-songwriter, whose song 'Fireflies' is number one for the third week, was only 24 copies ahead of the X Factor twins at one point but later increased the gap.
Speaking on Radio 1, John & Edward explained that they are thrilled to reach number two.
"Oh my God, we are so excited," John said. "We had so much to prove. This is our first single, and being number two is amazing. We're only new artists and most people who have come off the show haven't done as well as we've done.
"A lot of people have a certain opinion - 'I know music' - but we want to thank all our fans for all of their support all week."
Elsewhere, the cast of Glee dropped two places to number four with their cover of 'Don't Stop Believin', but also entered the charts at number 26 with their rendition of 'Somebody To Love'. Meanwhile, Timbaland and Katy Perry jumped 14 places to number three with 'If We Ever Meet Again'.
However, Marina and the Diamonds failed to crack the top ten with 'Hollywood', charting at number 12. Jay-Z fell five places to number 15 with 'Young Forever' and Sidney Samson dropped to number 13 with 'Riverside (Let's Go)'.
