Published Sunday, Mar 14 2010, 19:12 GMT | By Catriona Wightman

Tinie Tempah has continued his reign at the top of the UK singles charts.

The 21-year-old reached number one with 'Pass Out' last week and held off competition from Rihanna's 'Rude Boy' to keep the top spot.

Elsewhere in the charts, there were three new entries. McLean reached number ten with 'My Name', Gabriella Cilmi entered at nine with 'On A Mission' and Justin Bieber's 'Baby' went straight in at number three.

However, Timbaland and Katy Perry slipped four places to number 11 with 'If We Ever Meet Again' and Wiley's 'Never Be Your Woman' dropped to number 14. Boyzone also fell out of the top ten, with 'Gave It All Away' moving down 11 places to number 20.
