Black Eyed Peas stay on top
Dido
Dido has yet another number one album to her name
Rap act Black Eyed Peas have scored the longest run at the top of the UK singles chart for five years with their hit Where Is The Love?

The track notched up five weeks at the top of the chart on Sunday, marking the biggest stretch at number one since Cher's seven week stint in 1998.

New entries into the top 10 included S Club 8, Amy Studt and Travis.

Dido's Life For Rent beat Robbie Williams to the top of the album chart following massive early sales.

Her second album has become the fastest selling British album in six years, selling more than 255,000 in its first week.

Rock

Dido's single White Flag slipped one place to number five.

Former S Club singer, Rachel Stevens, stayed at number two with her debut effort, Sweet Dreams My LA Ex.

Flamboyant rock outfit The Darkness took third spot with I Believe in a Thing Called Love.

The highest new entry came from S Club 8 - formerly S Club Juniors - at number four with Sundown.

Last week's number one on the album chart, Absolution by Muse, slipped to number five.
