Will.i.am scores first UK solo number one

Will.i.am has today scored his first ever solo UK number one single with 'This Is Love.'

The Voice judge, who has previously achieved five chart-toppers with Black Eyed Peas, beat his previous peak of No.3 for 'T.H.E.' to knock last week’s number one, Maroon 5’s 'Payphone,' off the top spot. 

Chris Brown’s 'Don’t Wake Me Up,' entered the chart at No.3, just ahead of Flo Rida’s 'Whistle' and Cheryl Cole’s 'Call My Name,' whilst Katy Perry’s 'Wide Awake' climbed into the Top 10 at No.10.

Elsewhere, Taio Cruz debuted at No.12 with 'There She Goes,' Muse's official Olympic anthem, 'Survival,' entered at No.25, while there were new entries for Nicki Minaj's 'Pound The Alarm' at No.34 and Jay-Z & Kanye West's 'No Church In The Wild' at No.37.
