Their hit 'Boom Boom Pow' has now spent 12 weeks at number one, making it the longest-running chart-topper since Mariah Carey's 'We Belong Together', which spent 14 non-consecutive weeks at the summit in 2005.
Black Eyed Peas also hold on to second position this week with 'I Gotta Feeling', while rapper Drake climbs to third with 'Best I Ever Had'.
Meanwhile, rap supergroup Young Money - whose members include Drake and Lil Wayne - climb from 34 to ten with 'Every Girl'.
Notable gains outside the top ten come from Jordin Sparks, who jumps from 46 to 31 with 'Battlefield', and Beyoncé, who advances from 58 to 44 with 'Ego'.
