Pink climbs to top of US singles chart

Pink has claimed her first US number one as a solo artist with 'So What'.

The singer previously reached the top with 'Lady Marmalade', a 2001 collaboration with Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim and Mya.

Last week's number one, 'Whatever You Like' by rapper T.I., slips to second, while Rihanna holds steady in third with 'Disturbia'.
