Singer John Newman has bagged the No.1 single in the country as his track 'Love Me Again', debuted at the top of the official UK charts this week.

As a debut act it's incredible to get a single to Number 1, a great experience and hopefully the start of many more things to come. Thank you!”

Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' holds at No. 2, Icona Pop's 'I Love It' has now dropped to No.3, The Saturdays have made an appearance at No.14 with 'Gentleman', and Chase & Status have risen 6 spots to No.9.
