The top five is rounded out by Brown's rumoured girlfriend Rihanna, who is at five with Take A Bow.

In the album chart Coldplay have retained the top spot with Viva La Vida, followed by Duffy's Rockferry at two and Neil Diamond's Home Before Dark at three.

Fourth place is taken by Skydivin' by Darren Styles and Sigur Ros' new album, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust is at five.
