Cee Lo Green has entered straight in at the top of the UK singles chart, after ‘Forget You’ – the radio edit of original track ‘F**k You’ – sold over 100,000 copies in its first week of release.
The US soul sensation, who had his first taste of chart success collaborating with Gnarls Barkley on 2006 mega-hit ‘Crazy’, became one of only seven artists to reach the sales milestone this year.
This week’s runner-up is another new entry, ‘Shame’ by Take That bandmates Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow, a track that signals the end of a bitter 12-year feud.
Tinie Tempah couples his album chart success with having two singles in the top five, last week’s number one ‘Written In The Stars’ at three and new entry ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’ at five.
Kings of Leon also chart highly with latest release ‘Radioactive’, which at seven becomes the fourth new entry to crack the Top 10 this week.
Meanwhile, X Factor favourite ‘Make Me Feel Your Love’ by Adele and The Script’s ‘For The First Time’ both slip out of the Top 10, landing at 11 and 12 respectively.
The same fate befalls Katy B’s ‘Katy On A Mission’, which drops four places to 13, just a few positions ahead of her collaboration with Magnetic Man – ‘Perfect Stranger’ – which makes its chart debut at 16.
