Lil Wayne ends Rihanna's US chart reign

'Lollipop' by Lil Wayne has returned to the top of the US singles chart - nearly a month after it first reached number one.

Leona Lewis remains at two with 'Bleeding Love', while last week's chart-topper, 'Take A Bow' by Rihanna, slips to third position.

There are no new entries in the top ten this week, with long-running hits from Jordin Sparks, Usher, Madonna and Mariah Carey continuing to occupy prime positions at the business end of the Billboard Hot 100.

Elsewhere, Duffy makes her first appearance in the US top 40, leaping from 66 to 27 with 'Mercy'.
