Ellie Goulding keeps UK No.1 with 'Burn'

Ellie Goulding has held on to the UK number one for a third week with 'Burn'.



The singer - who scored her first chart-topper with the track last month - fought off competition from Avicii to retain the top spot.

Goulding told Radio 1's Scott Mills: "I didn't really expect it to be number one, let alone for this amount of time!

"I feel very lucky, because it wasn't like I released it in a quiet week of mediocre songs. There are some big smashes, so I'm really happy."

Avicii sticks at number two for a fourth week with the country-inspired 'Wake Me Up', while Klangkarussell's 'Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine)' remains at number three.

The Cedric Gervais remix of Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness' rises from five to four in this week's chart and Miley Cyrus re-enters the top five with 'We Can't Stop'.

Rizzle Kicks score this week's highest new entry at number six with new single 'Lost Generation' and former Westlife singer Shane Filan enters the chart at number 14 with debut solo effort 'Everything to Me'.

Following their performance at last weekend's 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are at number 25 with their track 'Same Love', which features vocals from Mary Lambert.

The 1975 enter the chart at number 34 with 'Sex', while Bastille have scored their third Top 40 hit from their debut album Bad Blood. 'Things We Lost in the Fire' rises 13 places to number 39.
