PSY's Number One on the singles chart and bloody Mumford & Sons are album 'chart-toppers' this week

  • October 1, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

'Gangnam Style' by PSY is this week's Number One single, becoming the first ever K‑Pop UK 'chart-topper' in the process.

The single outsold last week's Number One, The Script's 'Hall Of Fame', by 26,000 copies. The Script have to make do with a Number 2 this week, while Flo Rida's actually-quite-good 'I Cry' is up six places to Number 3.

Taylor Swift's amazing 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' is back up again to Number 4, while Fun., David Guetta featuring Sia and Conor Maynard featuring Ne-Yo all climb into the Top 10.

On the album charts, full-time waistcoat botherers Mumford & Sons knock The Killers off the top spot with their second opus, 'Babel'. There are also new entries in the Top 10 for BGT's Jonathan & Charlotte at Number 5 and dance borelord Deadmau5 at Number 9.

No Doubt only managed to enter at Number 16, which isn't great considering.

You can see the whole chart here if you like.
