Girls Aloud have notched up their fourth number one single with 'The Promise'.
The group previously topped the UK singles chart with 2002's 'Sound of the Underground', 2004's 'I'll Stand By You' and 2007's 'Walk This Way', a Comic Relief collaboration with Sugababes.
'The Promise' makes it chart debut in the number one spot, extending the group's run of consecutive top ten hits to 19 and knocking Pink's 'So What' into second place.
Dance collective Guru Josh Project climb to three with 'Infinity 2008', a remake of 1990's 'Infinity (It's Time For The Guru)', which peaked at five.
Notable gains come from Razorlight, who climb from 30 to five with 'Wire To Wire', and Katy Perry, who rises from 26 to seven with 'Hot N Cold'.
Kanye West also climbs into the top ten this week, jumping to a new peak of eight with 'Love Lockdown'.

Other new entries come from Leona Lewis, who bows at five with 'Forgive Me', and Strictly Come Dancing champion Alesha Dixon, who lands at eight with 'The Boy Does Nothing'.
