Rap seems to be taking over the UK pop singles chart. "Bonkers" by Dizzee Rascal and Armand Van Helden is the third consecutive rap single at the top of the UK pop singles chart. Daniel Merriweather has his second consecutive top 10 single as "Red" debuts at #5. Eurovision winner Alexander Rybak opens inside the top 10 making it the biggest Eurovision winner in a decade. The UK's entry by Jade Ewen is at #27, most likely its peak.
