Taio Cruz 'Dynamite'
Taio Cruz has replaced Eminem and Rihanna at the summit of the ARIA singles chart to score his first Aussie number one.

His track 'Dynamite' - also top of the UK and Irish singles chart this week - climbs from two to one, ending the US pair's six-week reign down under.

Their enduring hit 'Love The Way You Lie' falls to two, while Katy Perry holds steady at three with 'Teenage Dream'.

Meanwhile, Ke$ha leaps from 13 to seven with 'Take It Off' to notch up her fifth Aussie top ten hit - including her Flo Rida collaboration 'Right Round'.

The highest new entry of the week comes from The Script, who land at 12 with 'For The First Time', the lead single from their upcoming second album Science & Faith.
