Twista’s Sunshine was third in line, preceding Natasha at number four and other fallers, 3 of a Kind by Baby Cakes at five and Dumb by The 411 at six.
Embrace’s new single, Gravity penned by Coldplay’s Chris Martin, was the next highest new entry, going in at seven.
She Will Be Loved, by Maroon 5, fell five places to number nine and Guns Don’t Kill People Rappers Do by Welsh group Goldie Lookin Chain also fell five to number ten.
The album charts brought some good news for The Libertines as their new album, Libertines, went straight in at number one.
Last week’s chart toppers, The Prodigy, fell to fourth while Maroon 5’s Songs About Jane and Keane's Hopes and Fears were non-movers at number two and three.
