The Wanted are on course for a second week at number one with new single 'Glad You Came'.

The boyband have managed to retain their chart position since Sunday, keeping former number one DJ Fresh's 'Louder' at two.

Ed Sheeran stays at three with 'The A Team', while both Beyoncé's 'Best Thing I Never Had' and Loick Essien's 'How We Roll' remain at four and five.

Pitbull moves up three places to six with 'Give Me Everything', as Example slips two to nine with 'Changed The Way You Kiss Me'.

This week's highest new entry is from Brighton duo Rizzle Kicks, who debut on the UK top 40 chart with 'Down With The Trumpets' at number 25.

Towards the lower end of the chart, new entries from Blink-182 with comeback single 'Up All Night' and Tinie Tempah with Wiz Khalifa collaboration 'Till I'm Gone' debut at numbers 34 and 37 respectively.

Over on the album chart, Adele is on course for an 18th week at number one with 21, with Beyoncé's 4 remaining a non-mover at two.

The highest new entry comes from electro uncle-nephew double act LMFAO, who land at six with their second studio album Sorry For Party Rocking.

Outside of the top ten, Kylie Minogue enters at 23 with her back-catalogue collection The Albums 2000-2010.
