Comments
With McFly tying the all-time record for tumbles from #1 by falling to #20, Rihanna has only the 3rd single in the history of the UK chart to reach the peak on downloads alone. This is her first UK #1 after 3 songs that peaked at #2. Surprisingly, Snow Patrol, by climbing to #4, have their biggest hit single yet. In case you were wondering, "Chasing Cars" only reached #6 in the UK. Finally, ex-Sugababe Mutya Buena kicks off her proper solo career in fine fashion debuting at #11 with "Real Girl."

Just days before it's likely debut at the top of the US album chart, Linkin Park roar in at the peak in the UK. Just behind at #2 is Rufus Wainwright who sells records in the UK in signficantly higher volume than at home in the US.
