BASSHUNTER AND SCOUTING FOR GIRLS STILL TOP IN MUSIC CHARTS

It is a case of as you were at the top of the music charts after last week's number ones held on to their lofty positions.

Sweden's Basshunter and collaborator DJ Mental Theo are atop the singles chart for the third week in a row, while Scouting for Girls still need one more week to match the achievement.

Elvis Ain't Dead, the indie three-piece's single from their self-titled album, is also riding high at eight in the singles chart.

Hotly-tipped songstress Adele has managed to hold on to her number two position with Chasing Pavements, while Nickelback's Rockstar has swapped places with Piece of Me by Britney Spears to rise to number three.

Don't Stop the Music by Rihanna moves up one place to four and Lupe Fiasco's Superstar completes the top five.

In the albums chart Robert Plant and Alison Krauss move up to second spot with Raising Sand, followed by Amy Macdonald's This is the Life and Hand Built by Robots from Newton Faulkner.
