Rap star Pitbull has collected his first UK number one single as a lead artist with ‘Give Me Everything’, while Lady GaGa has dominated the rest of the chart with four songs in the top 20.
The 30-year-old climbed three places to bounce Bruno Mars and ‘The Lazy Song’ from pole position with his Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer collaboration. He previously topped the charts in April as a featured vocalist on Jennifer Lopez track ‘On The Floor’, which is at ten this week.
Meanwhile, GaGa celebrates becoming the first female artist since Ruby Murray in 1955 to place four tracks in the upper half of the rankings, a feat also achieved by legendary artists Frankie Lane, John Lennon and Michael Jackson – the latter of which scored five top 20 hits after his death in 2009.
The highest placing of GaGa’s entries this week is Born This Way promo single ‘The Edge Of Glory’, a non-mover at six, and ‘Judas’ follows just behind it after ascending from 11 to eight.
