The DJ supergroup, who recently announced they will split after their upcoming series of live shows, debuted at the top spot to thwart Adele’s ‘Skyfall’ in its bid to become the first ever chart-topping James Bond theme.

PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style’ fell to No.3, last week’s number one, Rihanna’s ‘Diamonds,’ dropped to No.4, whilst Ellie Goulding’s ‘Anything Could Happen’ remained at No.5.

Elsewhere, there were new entries for Leona Lewis’ 'Trouble' (No.7), Maroon 5’s 'One More Night' (No.18), Taylor Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' (No.23) and Disclosure's 'Latch' (No.26). 

The electro-house DJ trio are fighting off major competition from Adele’s latest single ‘Skyfall’, the theme song for the new James Bond movie of the same name, which entered the Top 40 at No.2 this afternoon.

‘Don’t You Worry Child’ will be the first and final number one single for Swedish House Mafia, who announced in June that they are to split after their world tour, wrapping up in Los Angeles in March.

Despite Adele's huge chart success with the singles from her record breaking album ‘21’, ‘Skyfall’ is currently approximately 22,000 copies behind ‘Don’t You Worry Child’. However, it will certainly reach a new peak after debuting at No.4 last week.

Rihanna’s ‘Diamonds’, which was last week's No.1, PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style’ and One Direction’s ‘Live While We’re Young’ are currently on track to chart at No.3, 4 and No.7 respectively.

Elsewhere in the single's chart, Ellie Goulding’s latest offering 'Anything Could Happen' has dropped 1 position to No.6, Maroon 5's 'One More Night' has debuted at 26, and Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' has climbed a place to No.9.

The DJ supergroup, who consist of Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello, have become renowned for their extravagant live shows but released a statement on their official website yesterday to confirm that they are to retire from going on the road:

"Today we want to share with you that the tour we are about to go on will be our last.

“We want to thank every single one of you who came on this journey. We came, we raved, we loved."

The ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’ stars, who performed at Radio 1’s Hackney Weekend yesterday, will still play their dates at Milton Keynes Bowl (July 14) and Sweden’s Friends Arena (Nov 24) alongside their residency at Ibiza’s Ushuaia (July 4 – Aug 29), and also hinted at further farewell shows, adding:

"The final leg of this journey will be announced in August."

The 'Miami 2 Ibiza' superstars will headline the 65,000 capacity Milton Keynes Bowl next year on July 14 and the dance group have already told fans via their official Twitter account that there "will be no UK touring or regular festivals except" the date at the bowl. 

They will release their sophomore album, 'One Night Stand', later this year in December and tickets for this exclusive gig will be made available from 9am on September 30.
