With its physical release in stores, Mika's debut hit "Grace Kelly" manages to hold off the charging Fall Out Boy for a third week at #1. Two other recent big hits in the US, Akon's "I Wanna Love You" feat. Snoop Dogg and The Fray's "How to Save a Life," enter the top 10 based only on download sales. Bloc Party's "The Prayer," rising to #4 on the chart, is now the biggest hit single yet for the group.

It might not be a as big as their #2 debut in the US, but indie pop band the Shins prove they are a success on both sides of the Atlantic with a #16 UK debut for Wincing the Night Away. Norah Jones opens at the top of the chart which will match her performance at home in the US later this week. Finally, yet another male British singer-songwriter emerges with the #4 debut of the album Panic Prevention by ballyhooed newcomer Jamie T.
