Wiley's Heatwave Grips U.k. To Score First Number One Single

British hip-hop star Wiley has scored his first U.K. number one single with Heatwave.

Florence + The MAChine's Spectrum slipped to third place, while Payphone by Maroon 5 and Black Heart by Stooshe rounded off the new top five.

Meanwhile, British teen sensation Conor Maynard has landed his first U.K. number one album with his debut release Contrast.

The Can't Say No hitmaker, 19, replaced rapper/singer Plan B at the top as Ill Manors fell to second place.
