The Wanted have reached number one with debut single ‘All Time Low’, knocking Yolanda Be Cool & D Cup to second place.

The group have managed to ride their massive following to the top of the charts, comfortably outselling ‘We No Speak Americano’ and the week’s second highest new entry, Gym Class Heroes’s Travie McCoy with ‘Billionaire’, which premieres at three.

New entries dominate the rest of the top 10 as well, with Flo Rida and David Guetta’s ‘Club Can’t Handle Me’ arriving at five, while dance tracks ‘One (Your Name)’ by Swedish House Mafia and ‘I Need Air’ by Magnetic Man debuting at seven and ten respectively.

The mass of new entries at the top of the chart has pushed Mark Ronson & The Business Intl’s ‘Bang Bang’, Professor Green’s ‘Just Be Good To Green’ and Enrique Iglesias’s ‘I Like It’ just out of the top 10, but the biggest casualties are JLS with ‘The Club Is Alive’, which falls seven places from nine to 16 and 30H!3’s ‘My First Kiss’, which plummets 11 spots from ten to 21.
