Black Eyed Peas earn their ninth top 3 hit with "Just Can't Get Enough" surging in at #3 this week. Kanye West has his biggest hit single since "Heartless" hit the top 10 in 2008 as the superstar collaboration "All Of the Lights" lands inside the top 20.

Adele is at the top for a powerful ninth week with 21. This is the first time an album has stayed that long at #1 in the UK since the Beatles 1 a decade ago. However, an album of new material has not been at the top so long since Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms clear back in 1986, 25 years ago. The Strokes meanwhile earn their fourth consecutive top 3 album with Angles starting at #3. Lead Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger has a strong top 10 opening for her solo debut Killer Love.
