The Ting Tings have scored their first number one UK single with ‘That’s Not My Name’.

The song, which was originally released last year, held off competition from Rihanna - whose single ‘Take A Bow’ entered at number two.

Elsewhere in the singles chart, Madonna, last weeks number one fell to four, while Coldplay’s ‘Violet Hill’ debuted at eight.

The song, which was released in April as a free download, is the first song from the bands fourth album ‘Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends’.

In the album chart, veteran singer Neil Diamond claimed the top spot with his 29th studio album ‘Home Before Dark’.

It completes a double for Diamond, who currently holds the number one spot on America’s Billboard Top-200 album chart.

Drum’n’bass act Pendulum were also a new entry in two with ‘In Silico’.

Further down in this week’s top-40, Santogold charted at number twenty-six with her self-titled debut album, while Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip entered at number thirty-one with ‘Angels’.
