Peas hold British R&B star off US No.1

Black Eyed Peas have extended their reign over the US singles chart, preventing British R&B singer Jay Sean from scoring a number one.

The pop-rap group have now spent the last 22 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 - 12 with 'Boom Boom Pow', followed by ten with 'I Gotta Feeling'.

Sean, who hails from West London, has to settle for second position with 'Down', a collaboration with Lil Wayne.

Meanwhile, 'Use Somebody' by Kings of Leon climbs to four - the band's best ever position on the US singles chart.

Outside of the top ten, Mariah Carey remains at 11 with 'Obsessed', while Shakira holds steady at 12 with 'She Wolf'.
