Britain's Got Talent Song Topples Rihanna On UK Chart

A song used by the winner of this years Britain’s Got Talent has ended Rihanna’s two week reign at the top of the UK singles chart.

The remix of Gene Kelly’s ‘Singin’ In The Rain’ topped the chart after being used by the competitions winner George Sampson.

Dance act Mint Royale’s remix was originally released in 2006. Rihanna’s ‘Take A Bow’ fell to number two, followed by The Tings Tings at three with ‘That’s Not My Name’.

Elsewhere in the singles chart, Radiohead crept back into the top-40 with ‘Creep’, which charted after the band’s entire back-catalogue was released on the iTunes Music Store last week.

In the album chart, Paul Weller topped the chart with his new double album ’22 Dreams’. The record features collaborations with Oasis guitarists Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer.

The top-10’s other new entry came from the Zutons, whose third album ‘You Can Do Anything’ entered at number six.
