Cee Lo Green has entered straight in at the top of the UK singles chart, after 'Forget You' - the radio edit of original track 'F**k You' - sold over 100,000 copies in its first week of release.
The US soul sensation, who had his first taste of chart success collaborating with Gnarls Barkley on 2006 mega-hit 'Crazy', became one of only seven artists to reach the sales milestone this year.
This week's runner-up is another new entry, 'Shame' by Take That bandmates Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow, a track that signals the end of a bitter 12-year feud.
Tinie Tempah couples his album chart success with having two singles in the top five, last week's number one 'Written In The Stars' at three and new entry 'Miami 2 Ibiza' at five.
Kings of Leon also chart highly with latest release 'Radioactive', which at seven becomes the fourth new entry to crack the Top 10 this week.
Meanwhile, X Factor favourite 'Make Me Feel Your Love' by Adele and The Script's 'For The First Time' both slip out of the Top 10, landing at 11 and 12 respectively.
The same fate befalls Katy B's 'Katy On A Mission', which drops four places to 13, just a few positions ahead of her collaboration with Magnetic Man - 'Perfect Stranger' - which makes its chart debut at 16.

1. (-) Cee Lo Green: 'Forget You'

The soul singer held off competition from 'Just The Way You Are' by Bruno Mars and dancefloor favourite 'Barbra Streisand' by Duck Sauce, to notch up a second week at number one.
This week's second-highest new entry is reigning X Factor champ Joe McElderry, whose sophomore track 'Ambitions' lands at six.
The top ten is rounded out this week by two massive climbers, Mike Posner's 'Cooler Than Me', which advances 13 places from 22 to nine, and Usher's 'DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love', which rises from 18 to ten.
Elsewhere, seven tracks between positions 11 and 20 fall down the chart, the biggest tumbler being Adele's 'Make Me Feel Your Love', which slips nine places from 11 to 20.
The top 20 also sees Travie McCoy's 'Billionaire' jump from 15 to 11, while two new entries - Pixie Lott's 'Broken Arrow' and Michael Bublé's 'Hollywood' - arrive at 12 and 17 respectively.

Bruno Mars returns to singles No. 1
Bruno Mars has held off competition from The Wanted to take 'Just The Way You Are' back to the top of the UK singles chart.
The 'Billionaire' collaborator's track, which first topped the chart four weeks ago, jumped past previous number one Cee Lo Green's 'Forget You' after it was covered by X Factor favourite Matt Cardle on last week's show.
Mars's success sees The Wanted settle for second place with their latest single 'Heart Vacancy', while other new entries - Katy Perry's 'Firework', Jay Sean's '2012' and 'Best Behaviour' by N-Dubz - also chart highly, landing at five, nine and ten respectively.
Elsewhere on the chart, two more new arrivals, Nelly's 'Just A Dream' and Diana Vickers's 'My Wicked Heart', just fail to break the top ten landing at 11 and 13.
Further down, Adele makes a slight gain with 'Make You Feel My Love', which climbs from 20 to 17, and Robbie Williams's long-awaited reunion track with Gary Barlow, 'Shame', tumbles 13 places to 20.
Meanwhile, the X Factor-related success present at the top of the chart fails to transfer to last year's champ Joe McElderry, as 'Ambitions' slips out of the top 20 in its second week of release.

1. (2) Bruno Mars: 'Just The Way You Are'
2. (-) The Wanted: 'Heart Vacancy'
3. (3) Duck Sauce: 'Barbra Streisand'

Bruno Mars has been in my head since Matt sung it on the X factor. Even Marley keeps given me a row for singing.

Cheryl Cole has notched up her second UK number one and the fastest selling non-charity single of 2010 with new track 'Promise This'.
The X Factor judge's much-discussed performance on the show last Sunday saw her latest release sell over 157,000 copies this week, just pipping Barbadian singer Rihanna's comeback track 'Only Girl (In The World)' to the top spot.
The lead song from the 'Umbrella' hitmaker's upcoming album Loud achieved first week sales of 126,000, giving Rihanna her 14th UK top ten hit and the second fastest-selling single of the year so far.
Nelly's 'Just A Dream' climbs from 11 to eight this week, where it becomes sandwiched between two big fallers, in the shape of Duck Sauce's 'Barbra Streisand' at seven and The Wanted's sophomore track 'Heart Vacancy' at nine.
Outside the top of the chart, Michael Bublé's 'Hollywood' lands at 11 after being boosted 16 places by an X Factor appearance, while former top five smash 'Miami 2 Ibiza' by Tinchy Stryder and Swedish House Mafia slips just behind at 12.
Elsewhere, a triple bill of new releases - Tim Berg's 'Seek Bromance', Peter Andre's 'Defender' and Devlin's 'Runaway' - make their mark further down the chart, arriving together at 13, 14 and 15 respectively.
The top ten in full:
1. (-) Cheryl Cole: 'Promise This'

Rihanna has jumped to the top of the UK singles chart with new track 'Only Girl (In The World)'.
The Barbadian singer originally arrived in the runner-up spot behind Cheryl Cole's 'Promise This' last Sunday, but reached the summit following improved second-week sales of more than 134,000 copies.
In notching up her fourth UK number one, Rihanna sends X Factor judge Cole falling to two this week, just ahead of 'Happiness', the debut single from America's Got Talent semi-finalist Alexis Jordan.
A few climbers pepper the upper section of the chart as well, with Katy Perry's 'Firework' advancing two places to four, while The Saturdays achieve their eight UK top ten hit, after their Flo Rida collaboration 'Higher' rises to ten from last week's 22.
Looking just beyond the top of the chart, will.i.am and Nicki Minaj arrive at 11 with new release 'Check It Out', while 1992 classic 'Stay' by Shakespears Sister re-enters at 12 following Cher Lloyd's "performance of the season" on last week's X Factor.
Meanwhile, two former chart-topping acts make somewhat disappointing returns, as Cheryl Cole's Girls Aloud colleague Nadine Coyle fails to replicate her bandmate's success with 'Insatiable', which arrives at 26, and Roll Deep follow two successive number one singles with a new entry at 29 in the shape of 'Take Control'.
The top ten in full:
1. (2) Rihanna: 'Only Girl (In The World)'
2. (1) Cheryl Cole: 'Promise This'
3. (-) Alexis Jordan: 'Happiness'
4. (6) Katy Perry: 'Firework'
