Cheryl Cole - Cheryl Cole Cements Return To Music With No.1 Single

Barlow's track 'Sing', written especially for the Queen's jubilee had previously been the fastest selling of the year at 142,000 sold, but its two-week reign at the top of the charts was ended and it now sits at number three, with US rapper Flo Rida a non-mover at two with his single 'Whistle'.

For Cole it marks the first single to be released simply under her Christian name, and is her third number one after hits 'Fight For This Love' and 'Promise This'. For Barlow meanwhile redemption came in the UK album charts in which his Commonwealth Band managed to stay top of the pile for the second week in a row, Scottish singer Amy Macdonald coming in at two with her new album 'Life In A Beautiful Light'.
