Cher Lloyd has stomped straight to the top of the UK singles chart with her debut track ‘Swagger Jagger’.
The 18-year-old knocked fellow X Factor alumni JLS and their seventh release ‘She Makes Me Wanna’ from pole position after just one week. The Wanted‘s ‘Glad You Came’ and Ed Sheeran’s ‘The A Team’ follow at three and four, while DJ Loud and Sian Evans round out the top five with ‘Louder’.
Further down the numbers, David Guetta, Taio Cruz and Ludacris boost to six from 13, as two very different acts in the shape of Nicki Minaj and Rizzle Kicks both score their best ever UK chart finishes. Minaj’s ‘Super Bass’ climbs another two places to eight in its 14th week of release, while Rizzle Kicks shoot a massive 11 entries up the chart with ‘Down With The Trumpets’ at nine.
The Top 10 in full:
1. (-) Cher Lloyd: ‘Swagger Jagger’
2. (1) JLS: ‘She Makes Me Wanna’
3. (2) The Wanted: ‘Glad You Came’
4. (4) Ed Sheeran: ‘The A Team’

Meanwhile, Pitbull’s Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer team-up ‘Give Me Everything’ and Katy Perry’s ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)’ both lose their spots in the Top 10 after falling four and three respectively to 11 and 12.
Calvin Harris and Kelis also take a tumble with ‘Bounce’, down three to 14, as Chris Brown and Justin Bieber race in behind them at 15 with ‘Next To You’, which is up seven this Sunday.
The week’s second-highest new entry belongs to US up-and-comer Christina Perri and ‘Jar Of Hearts’ at 17, while Maverick Sabre and Aloe Blacc slide two apiece to 18 and 20 with ‘Let Me Go’ and ‘I Need A Dollar’.
