DJ Fresh notches up second singles No.1 with 'Hot Right Now'

DJ Fresh has achieved his second UK singles chart number one with 'Hot Right Now'.



The track, which features vocals from Rita Ora, snatched the top spot from fellow new entry 'Next To Me' by Emeli Sandé, this week's runner-up.

"This is the first drum 'n' bass number one, and for me particularly that's a massive, massive feeling of achievement," DJ Fresh - aka Daniel Stein - told the Official Charts Company. "We've all been pushing for so long to get the music taken seriously and to be seen as a platform that anything can be done on.

"Even when everybody else is like, 'Why do you listen to drum 'n' bass, it sounds like noise?', all of those hardcore fans, they're the people who knew before everybody else that it was something special."

Last week's chart-topper 'Somebody That I Used To Know' by Gotye and Kimbra slips to three this week, while 'Titanium' from David Guetta and 'Wild Ones' by Flo Rida - both featuring Sia - complete the top five.

The team-up of will.i.am, Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger drop five to eight with 'T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)', finishing just ahead of 'One Thing' by One Direction, which rises a hefty 17 places to nine.

Cover Drive complete the Top 10 after falling three with 'Twilight', as 'Mama Do The Hump' by Rizzle Kicks and Kelly Clarkson's 'Stronger' fall four apiece to 12 and 13.

Whitney Houston re-enters the chart at 14 with legendary 1992 track 'I Will Always Love You' following her death at the age of 48 on February 11. A funeral for the late star was held in New Jersey yesterday (February 18).

Elsewhere on the ranking, Lana Del Rey slips five to 15 with 'Born To Die', Nicki Minaj is a new entry at 16 with 'Starships' and Pitbull slips from 12 to 18 with his Chris Brown collaboration 'International Love'. Del Rey makes another appearance in the upper half of the chart after 'Video Games' also falls six to 19.

Houston achieves a second posthumous charting at 20 with 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody', first released in 1987. Her record 'One Moment In Time' also returns to the chart at 40, with more than 127,000 copies of her singles purchased by fans since last weekend.

Madonna, meanwhile, sees her highly-anticipated new single 'Give Me All Your Luvin' drop out of the Top 40 after just one week. The track, which also features Nicki Minaj and MIA, entered the chart at 37 following her recent Super Bowl performance.
