Rihanna continues to dominate the UK singles chart with her latest single 'We Found Love'.
The star remains at number one with the Calvin Harris collaboration, while Maroon 5's 'Moves Like Jagger' remains at two.
Christina Perri's 'Jar Of Hearts' is the first of a handful of tracks to launch up the chart after being performed on last weekend's first X Factor live show.
The ballad currently completes the top three and is trailed by Gym Class Heroes' 'Stereo Hearts' at four and Matt Cardle's first single proper 'Run For Your Life' at five.
LMFAO advance with 'Sexy And I Know It', which shifts up to number six, and Ed Sheeran's 'The A Team' gets a boost to seven after receiving the Frankie Cocozza treatment on Saturday night's X Factor.
The X Factor effect continues in force further down the chart with Nicki Minaj's 'Super Bass' re-entering the top 40 at 23, and Coldplay's 'Fix You' steaming up to number 27.
Timbaland's new single 'Pass At Me' enters at number 30, Wolfgang Gartner's will.i.am hook-up 'Forever' lands at 37 and Ed Sheeran's next single 'Lego House' appears at 40.
Over on the album chart, Evanescence are on course to score their second UK number one with their latest self-titled effort Evanescence.
Newly-reunited Steps are at two with their compilation album The Ultimate Collection, while Adele remains at three with 21.
Ryan Adams lands at six with Ashes & Fire, followed by Jason Derulo's Future History at seven.
Katherine Jenkins is perched at nine with Daydream while Cliff Richard is at ten with Soulicious.
Meanwhile, Bjork's Biophilia is just outside the midweek top ten at 11.
